Peter Temple Knihy

Joe Cashin bol kedysi iný. Ľahšie sa pohyboval, bol si istejší a menej uvažoval. No keď sa človek často stretá so smrťou, zanechá to dôsledky. U Cashina k nim patrilo aj to, že odišiel z oddelenia vrážd na tiché miesto na pobreží, kde vyrastal. Teraz k jeho povinnostiam patria len prechádzky so psom a práca vidieckeho policajta. Významného miestneho občana Charlesa Bourgoynea však ktosi prepadne a on v dôsledku toho zomrie. Všetko poukazuje na troch chlapcov z neďalekej komunity pôvodných obyvateľov Austrálie, a zdá sa, že to tak všetci aj chcú. Cashina to však nepresvedčí. A keď sa tragédia neľútostne rozvíja ďalej, zisťuje, že ho zaujalo niečo, čo by mal azda nechať na pokoji. Templova schopnosť tvoriť zápletky a jeho intuitívny prienik do psychiky postáv mu vyniesli reputáciu majstra austrálskej detektívnej prózy. Prekliate pobrežie je Templovým najlepším dielom. Je to román o krajine, prírode, rodine, o politike a moci; o potrebe žiť slušne vo svete, kde je veľa vecí prehnitých. Je to pôsobivé a fascinujúce rozprávanie, ktoré prekračuje hranice žánrov.
