Description

'When men in police uniforms came to execute me on the roadside, beside dark fields, it was a definite sign that my new life was over.' A regular at the local pub, a mainstay of the footy team, Mac Faraday is a man with a past living the quiet life of a country blacksmith. But when his best friend Ned Lowey is found hanged, Mac - who has learned the hard way never to accept things at face value - isn't convinced he committed suicide and starts asking questions. Why did Ned keep press cuttings about the skeleton of a girl found in an old mine shaft? What was he doing at Kinross Hall, the local detention centre for juvenile girls? Who was the beaten girl found naked beside a lonely road? As Mac's search for answers pushes deeper into the past, it resurrects the terrifying spectre of what he calls his 'old life', forcing him to turn to long-discarded skills not only to discover why his best friend died, but also to save his own life.

I chose to give this a 5 star rating for I thought the use of language was outstanding. The sentence structure, which varies in length is so vivid in portraying character, the atmosphere and the scenes are so vivid one feels that you are there with them. Temple also evokes feelings that are so real that you believe you are : in the pub or at the forge or driving down the dark, cold road. Temple's use of language is so evocative and at times poetic, I wanted to re-read parts of it. He is certainly a master of language. The story-line was excellent as well and contained such a variety of places, people - realistic characters. Another great read by Peter Temple.
