'I know your dirty little secrets, Professor Motte.' A placid and secure retirement seems certain for Kendill Motte, distinguished Professor of History at Arch Hill university - until an anonymous late-night phone call triggers a series of events that compels him to write a confession of his violent and ruthless rise from obscurity. Kevin Ireland's fourth novel is a shrewd, searching and unpredictable romantic comedy about the absurdities we create when we try to tell the truth about our lives. As Motte says, "Whatever the evidence, the truth lies."
Kevin Ireland is one of New Zealand's best-known writers. In 1990 he received an OBE for services to literature and he was winner of the 1977 New Zealand Book Award for Poetry. He has also received a National Book Award for Poetry, a Montana Prize for History and Biography, and in 2000 he was made an Honorary Doctor of Literature by Massey University.
