Reviews

This is a formidable debut... gritty, downbeat and realistic. Highly recommended,
 (Independent, Ireland)

This gritty, compulsive tale of Dublin's mean streets reeks of authenticity. DI Jo Birmingham is a terrific character: gutsy and stylish, with a tough mind and a heart of gold. A real page-turner.
