Connolly, an Irishman, is starting to carve himself a niche in the annals of US crime writing, and his voice rings pretty true alongside true American purveyors of the twisted tale - Publishing News'As John Connolly plunges ever deeper into the underworld of the damned, the reader, with eyes of slits, must cling on for this brilliantly terrifying ride' Irish Times'Ireland's finest export since U2 and Guinness. THE KILLING KIND is a crime thriller with real bite. Dark, menacing and moody, but with moments of wicked humour. Connolly drags you screaming to the edge of the abyss, then calmly pushes you in.

An elegant, gripping illustration of his talents as a writer. A compelling danse macabre. Connolly proved he could write characters with more depth, style and malice t
