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.

THE AWARD-WINNING DEBUT NOVEL, AND FIRST JACK IRISH THRILLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BROKEN SHORE AND TRUTH.

"Her name was Sarah Longmore and she was charged with murdering her former lover." When Jack Irish is asked to look into Sarah Longmore's defence, he's more than happy to oblige. After all, whenever somebody seems as guilty as Sarah does, it's usually for a good reason. But her case will prove far from straightforward, and Jack's investigation far from swift and painless.

CFDs, or contracts for difference, have experienced a surge in popularity with private investors and traders. They are extremely flexible trading instruments that offer high degrees of leverage, the opportunity to go long and short and to hedge open positions in other tradable instruments. Similar to spread betting, traders can take advantage of price movements without having to buy the underlying asset, thereby avoiding stamp duty, broker commissions and 100% capital requirement issues. However, CFDs are high risk, predominantly because of their gearing exposure, and anyone entering this market should fully understand the risk and rewards before they start trading. 'CFDs Made Simple' is a short, straightforward, no-nonsense, practical guide to this exciting product written in Peter Temple's accessible style.
