Reviews
Masterly genre-splicing thrillers . . . Connolly's grip is inexorable . . . the violent scenarios he paints are couched in prose that is often poetic
His dry sardonic, at times almost lyrical, language laced liberally with wry dark humour . . . Two novels for the price of one, and both excellent reads
A novel with . . . depth, excitement . . . personality . . . Clever, sensitive and downright bold perceptions of the author as the stories . . . rise and fall among some of the weirdest and most brutal characters
