Meet Dublin's Dirty Harry
'Coyne is the most unusual character in Irish fiction for some time: larger than life, a bit of a mess at one level, but a great original. a true flesh and blood man living out his spell of not-so-quiet desperation with terrible conviction' Ronan Farren, Sunday Independent
'Coyne is a majestic creation...through an accretion of one-liners and humorous set-pieces he sketches a morally ambivalent world which is immensely compelling and engaging...If Flann O'Brien's lunatic Professor De Selby had genetically engineered a cross between the novels -of Raymond Chandler and those of Patrick McCabe, this is what the progeny might well have looked like' Antohia Logue. The Times
'A subtle portrait of a nation undergoing rapid change' Nicholas Wroe, GQ
'An exciting and blackly comic thriller, lobbing incendiaries at both the dark corners and sacred cows of modern Ireland...Read it now before it comes to a cinema near you' Dermot Bolger, Sunday Independent
'A terrific creation' Guardian
