The Bloomsday Dead Zusammenfassung

The Bloomsday Dead Adrian McKinty

Part 3 of The Dead Trilogy Michael Forsythe might be, as one of his assailants puts it, 'un-f*cking-killable', but that doesn't seem to deter people from trying. He's living in Lima, reasonably well-hidden by the FBI's Witness Protection Program, but Bridget Callaghan, whose fiance he murdered twelve years ago, has an enduring wish to see him dead. So when her two assassins pass him the phone to speak to her before they kill him, Michael thinks she just wants to relish the moment. In fact, out of desperation, she is giving him a chance to redeem himself. All he has to do is return to Ireland and find her missing daughter. Before midnight. Tenacious and brutal, with the hunted man's instinct for trouble, Forsythe leaves a trail of mayhem as he tries to end the bloody feud once and for all. The Bloomsday Dead pulsates with break-neck action and wry literary references; McKinty's distinctly Irish voice packs a ferocious punch. 'McKinty is one of Britain's great contemporary crime writers and the Sean Duffy books are his masterpiece.' IAN RANKIN

The Bloomsday Dead Bewertungen

Riotous and visceral. * Waterstone's Books Quarterly *
Packed with sharp dialogue and unremitting action. -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
Compelling thrillers written in a hard-bitten, muscular style, the novels are given an unconventional twist by virtue of Forsythe's unusually perceptive insights... a fascinating blend of Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne and Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley... McKinty is a rare writer. * Sunday Business Post *
McKinty's hard-boiled, fast-paced The Bloomsday Dead is as dark and violent as any thriller fan could demand, but it also serves as an intelligent homage to Ulysses - not so much to its content as to Joyce's way of telling a story... Thriller writers have to know their material: McKinty's graps of the chronnological structures of Ulysses is as firm as any scholar's. -- Fintan O'Toole * Irish Times *
