"Funny and brutal, heartfelt and compelling. Highly recommended." - Craig Robertson "Every once in a while, a book comes along and redefines the term unputdownable. Beyond the Rage is one of them.

A fabulous read." - Caro Ramsay "Michael Malone brings a poet's sensibilities to the crime novel - but still manages to deliver a belter of a yarn." - Douglas Skelton "Beyond the Rage is a brilliant read - the characters are well realised, expertly utilised and the story is gripping.
