"Gerard Doyle has a fabulous brogue and the ability to deliver a
sly joke and dialogue between an Irishman and a Scot with equal
facility." -- "AudioFile"
"The writing is first-rate, and the story commands attention from
the opening pages...The Detective Up Late is a fine piece of crime
fiction and is one of my favorites of the year so far. Once more
McKinty sets the standard for clever, reflective novels of
detection."-- "Murder, Mayhem, and Long Dogs"
"There's an ambivalence about almost every aspect of the book,
including Duffy himself. He's a Catholic in the RUC, a man out of
sync. The Troubles weave in and out of the narratives, reminding us
of what an extreme time it was. These are crime novels that are
unafraid to explore the complications of living at a time when
which church you went to could be enough to get you killed." --
"The Guardian (London)"
"The welcome return of Sean Duffy."-- "Boston Globe"
"Adrian McKinty is a gifted storyteller I love to read, and Sean
Duffy is a character you will never forget."-- "Don Winslow, #1
internationally bestselling author"
