On a recent trip to Melbourne, Australia, NPR's Linda Wertheimer interviewed author Peter Temple in the Napier pub in Fitzroy, a setting in Temple's Jack Irish mystery series. The interview will air this summer on Morning Edition as part of NPR's "Crime in the City" series.
It's a busy time for Temple. As of next month, with the re-release by Text Publishing of Temple's fourth Jack Irish thriller, White Dog, all of his books will be in print in the U.S. Temple's standalone, Shooting Star, was published by Text this month. A Jack Irish television series, starring Guy Pearce, is currently streaming on Acorn TV.
