Book description
At the close of a long day, Inspector Stephen Villani stands in the
bathroom of a luxury apartment high above the city. In the glass bath, a
young woman lies dead. Villani s job as the head of the Victoria Police
Homicide Squad is bathed in blood and sorrow. Incapable of constancy as
a father and husband, damaged as a son, his life is his work. It is his
identity, his calling, his touchstone. Now, over a few sweltering summer
days, as fires burn across the state and his superiors and colleagues
scheme and jostle, his soul is about to be laid bare. Truth is a novel
about a man, a family, a city. It is about violence, murder, love,
corruption, honour and deceit. And it is about truth. At the close of
