When a British tourist fails to turn up for a luxurious cooking vacation in Bruno's usually idyllic Dordogne village of St. Denis, the worried hostess is quick to call on Bruno for help. Monica Felder is nowhere to be found, and her husband, a retired British major, is unreachable. And not long after Bruno discovers that Monica was traveling with a mysterious Irishman (her lover?), the two turn up dead. The Irishman's background in intelligence and his connection to Monica's husband only raise more questions for Bruno.

Five figures gather 'round a shallow grave. They had all taken turns to dig. An adult-sized hole would have taken longer. An innocent life had been taken, but the pact had been made. Their secrets would be buried, bound in blood. Years later a headmistress is found brutally strangled, the first in a spate of gruesome murders that shock the Black Country.

When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Editorial Reviews

In the second installment of Peter Temple's Jack Irish series, the Australian attorney and private investigator goes in search of the son of Des Connors, an old friend of Jack's dead father. What seems like a straightforward missing-person case soon becomes complicated, however, as Irish begins to discover the large-scale and nefarious truth behind Gary Connors' disappearance. Marco Chiappi performs with a brisk, no-nonsense style that gives a jolting clarity to the multiple storylines in Black Tide, and he embodies Temple's colorful characters with a snappy edge that roots the story in Melbourne's culture and vernacular.

Publisher's Summary

Jack Irish has no shortage of friends: jockeys and journos, lawyers and standover men, people in nameless occupations who aren't in the phone book. These days, though, the only family he sees are Irish men in faded football team photographs on the pub wall. So when Des Connors, the last link to his father, calls to ask for help in the matter of a missing son, Jack is happy to lend a hand. But sometimes prodigal sons go missing for a reason.

As Jack begins to dig, he discovers that Gary Connors was a man with something to hide. And his friends are people with darker and more deadly secrets.

The Irish have an interesting life

Used to the characters and the language used and enjoy being thrust into an age before we all became too Politically Correct. (The Australian ABC films do a grand job of bringing the stories to life.)

Solid Jack Irish, but feels a bit formulaic

I've really enjoyed other Peter Temple books, especially Jack Irish thrillers, so I was very much looking forward to this one. If it had been my first, I think I might have enjoyed it more but this outing felt a bit formulaic to me. The situations all seemed familiar (horse-racing, cabinet-making, the pub, a mystery, some violence, a pretty woman) and I must admit to wanting a new angle somewhere. However, the story was interesting and competently told, and Jack Irish is a character that it's easy to like and root for. The narration is superb and Marco Chiappi clearly relishes 'being' Jack Irish - I can't imagine anyone else doing justice to it! To summarise: good but not mind-blowing, and if this is your first Jack Irish you'll probably have great fun.

Melbourne noir - dark, funny, sexy,

great reading of classic Melbourne crime novel where helping redress elder abuse leads to uncovering international crime syndicate, many trips to the races, morticing, plenty of beer & red wine, and the footy. Go the Saints.

Great story.

Loved this book. Was distracted by the narrator's performance but the story and writing made up for it.
