Peter Temple: I think it's absolutely important that their lives should collapse at the point in which I arrive on the scene, yes. Ramona Koval: Do the lives of these guys always have to fall apart? Peter Temple: Thank you very much, it's nice to be here.
Peter Temple joins us form the ABC studio in Ballarat near where he lives. There are fires burning across the state, the different branches of the police force are jostling for position, there's a question of corruption in state politics, a feral media, and of course his life is falling apart too. Hi new book Truth has many of the characters from The Broken Shore appearing in cameo roles but the action is embedded in the life and times of Inspector Stephen Villani, head of the Victoria Police Homicide Squad, and a series of grim murders he's investigating. It was also named Australian General Fiction Book of the Year in the Australian Book Industry awards. Ramona Koval: Peter Temple's last book The Broken Shore won a swag of prizes, medals and crime awards.
