An Iron Rose by Peter Temple is the story of Mac Faraday, a man with a murky past who is trying to live a quiet life. When his best mate is found dead, the assumption is suicide, but Mac isn’t convinced.

An Iron Rose is a masterclass in understatement, scene-setting and dialogue. Temple sketches characters with his customary light hand and we are fully and immediately immersed Mac Faraday’s world through a close narrative.
