Jack Irish Reeks

Deze serie duikt in het leven van een cynische, maar in wezen fatsoenlijke ex-advocaat die zich een weg baant door het harde leven in Melbourne. Verstrikt geraakt in een wereld van misdaad, corruptie en onopgeloste verledens, verlegt hij voortdurend de grenzen van de wet en zijn eigen veerkracht. Elke zaak trekt hem dieper de onderbuik van de stad in, waardoor hij zowel externe bedreigingen als interne worstelingen moet aangaan. Het is een boeiende mix van misdaadfictie en karakterstudie.

    Since its release in March 1999, Peter Temple has captivated critics with the return of Jack Irish in this thrilling narrative. Praised as "gutsy, pacy, and multi-stranded" by the Australian's Review of Books, Temple's work is noted for its wit and potency, as highlighted by Peter Corris. The Adelaide Advertiser calls it a "fast, funny, fabulous thriller," while the Courier Mail affirms Temple's status as the top hard-boiled crime writer in Australia. His polished prose, sharp dialogue, and vivid sense of place make the story compulsively readable, according to the Sun Herald. The Sydney Morning Herald positions Temple at the forefront of contemporary Australian crime fiction. Jack Irish, a lawyer and part-time cabinet-maker, is recovering from a previous encounter with the criminal underworld when he takes on a case to find the son of an old colleague. This decision leads him into the orbit of Steven Levesque, a millionaire with significant political influence. As Jack delves deeper into Levesque's powerful corporation, he becomes increasingly convinced that a dark secret lies at its core. The unfolding mystery reveals just how perilous that secret truly is. The narrative immerses readers in Jack Irish's world, filled with pubs, racetracks, Australian football, and a backdrop of intrigue, corruption, and violence.
