Shooting Star

Reviews

"Temple ratchets up the tension in his inimitable style - he remains one of the best thriller writers in the world." "Temple is the master of the complex plot and his characters leap from the page - a taut action-packed thriller." "Great locations, hard-nosed dialogue and a twisting plot combine to create superb entertainment." "Discovering Peter Temple has been the highlight of my year." "Australian writer Peter Temple's latest novel is an entertaining thriller. The story features Frank Calder, a former soldier and hostage negotiator, who is hired to intercede in the kidnapping of the great-granddaughter of wealthy businessman Pat Carson and deliver the ransom to the kidnappers. As events unfold, Calder discovers that money is not the only reason for the kidnapping. David Tredinnick's performance is an ideal complement to the story. In particular, Tredinnick's ability to infuse the characters with unique personalities, coupled with his steady pace, makes the story fly by." Expand reviews
