Based on true events, The Sun is God is dark, outrageous and hugely entertaining -- historical crime fiction at its very best.

Spinetingler Award, its sequel I Hear The Sirens In The Street was
shortlisted for the 2013 Ned Kelly Award, and Sean Duffy Thriller
#3, In the Morning I'll be Gone, won the 2014 Ned Kelly Award and

American Library Association.
An exciting new voice
*Ian Rankin*
Based on an improbable but true story, the novel offers a
fascinating twist on the traditional "locked room" mystery, as only
the island's miserable few inhabitants can be considered suspects
in the alleged murder. Prior, as reluctant a sleuth as has ever
shuffled into the genre, makes for a blackly humorous guide to a
palm-fringed, sun-drenched idyll that is both heaven and hell.
McKinty's 15th novel (if you include his young-adult titles) is an
ambitious offering that incorporates a subplot exploring pre-first
World War colonial tensions between Britain and Germany. But it's
the investigation of the central mystery, with its undertones of
Paradise Lost, that proves most entertaining.
