It blew my doors off
*Ian Rankin*
A strain of rough and visual, sly and lyric narrative prose in
service of one hell of a story. Sean Duffy is a great creation, and
the place comes alive - a uniquely beautiful and nasty part of the
world
*Daniel Woodrell*
Duffy is one of the most interesting, convincing and sympathetic
police officers in recent crime fiction... McKinty gets better and
better
*Times*
It's easy to see Duffy becoming as popular as Ian Rankin's
Rebus
*Irish Times*
This is a very fine police thriller from a rising start of the
genre. The pacing is brisk and exciting, and the plotting is full
of interest and surprises.
*Canberra Times, Australia*
McKinty keeps getting better and better ... Sirens is a humdinger -
a highly enjoyable, smart, page-turner of a novel.
*Hot Press*
Not everyone could tackle such a splintered society, but McKinty
seems to relish its challenges as much as its opportunities...
Sirens won't disappoint McKinty fans, and may well attract many
more.
*Irish Examiner*
Don't miss out on McKinty's belting tale. Duffy mainlines into your
bloodstream. Like the vodka and lime he's so fond of, he's
definitely addictive.
*Belfast News Letter*
This is crime fiction at its best: a police procedural with
dialogue that's crisp and occasionally lighthearted; blistering
action that's often lethal; McKinty's mordant Belfastian wit; and a
protagonist readers won't want to leave behind when the trilogy
ends.
*Booklist*
McKinty is seriously brilliant, his flair for language matched by
his remarkable feel for place, appetite for redemptive violence and
gravely cool appreciation of characters who reject conformity.
There are echoes of Dennis Lehane, Joseph Wambaugh, Eoin McNamee
and even Raymond Chandler but McKinty is resolutely his own hard
man.
*Weekend Australian*
An excellent, thoughtful police thriller that is also a convincing
portrait of a society under political and social stress.
*Times*
Duffy [is] a charismatic, empathetic Belfast cop with a nose for
sniffing out trouble
*Metro*
Adrian McKinty is one of the great storytellers writing crime
fiction today.
*Don Winslow*
When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty
forged the path the rest of us follow.
*Stuart Neville*
