Summary

Michael Forsythe might be, as one of his assailants puts it, 'un-fucking-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.

The Bloomsday Dead Summary

The Bloomsday Dead by Adrian McKinty

Part 3 of The Dead Trilogy Michael Forsythe might be, as one of his assailants puts it, 'un-fucking-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.

The Bloomsday Dead Reviews

A thrill a second... Certainly not one for the faint of heart * RTE Guide *
Those who know McKinty will automatically tighten their seatbelts. To newcomers I say: buckle up and get set for a bumpy ride through a very harsh landscape indeed. His antihero Michael Forsythe is as wary, cunning and ruthless as a sewer rat... His journey in some ways parallels that of James Joyce's Leopold Bloom on one day in Dublin, but - trust me - it's a lot more violent and a great deal more exciting -- Matthew Lewin * Guardian *
A tangled and bloody odyssey through Dublin and Belfast... [a] well-paced, edgy thriller -- Terence Killeen * Irish Times *
A gut-punching gangster story... this illegitimate spawn of a book, with Tony Soprano morality and James Joyce literary weight, ends the Michael Forsythe trilogy -- Gerard Brennan * Verbal, Belfast Newsletter *
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 *
An evocative and pacy read * Big Issue *
A pacey, violent caper... As Forsythe hurtles around the city, McKinty vividly portrays its sleazy, still-menacing underbelly -- John Dugdale * Sunday Times *
Thoroughly enjoyable... [McKinty] maintains the bloody action all the way from Lima to Larne with panache and economy. His hero, the "un-f***ing-killable" Michael Forsythe, is a wonderful creation -- Hugh Bonar * Irish Mail on Sunday *
