It was the thirteenth book featuring Sydney detective Scobie Malone. PlotThe book starts with Scovie attending a dinner party held by a publishing tycoon. During the night the tycoon is shot dead and Scobie has to find the killer.[1] BackgroundAs part of his research for the novel, Cleary visited the offices of the Sydney Morning Herald. However, he denied the publishing family in the book was based on the Fairfaxes, who then owned the Herald.[2] ReceptionReviewer Stuart Coupe said that, "over recent years Cleary's books have varied in quality but this is a superior effort from an acknowledged master of the genre."[3] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.austcrimefiction.org/content/endpeace|title=Endpeace|website=AustCrimeFiction|access-date=2016-04-13}} 2. ^'COLUMN 8', Sydney Morning Herald, 3 July 1996 p1 3. ^'Top Shelf', Sunday Age, 17 November 1996 p6 External links
