出版商概要
""Borderlands" has me, dare I say, green with envy. It's rare I'm jealous of a debut novel but I'm ferociously so of this stunning work. Devlin, the main character of this new series, is going to join the ranks of Rebus, Resnick, Davenport, and Scudder as one of the reference points of character series. Not only is the writing a sheer blast of dark lyricism but the plot is utterly compulsive. Dammit,"" I muttered, it can't be this good, it is . . . and better. This is not only a wondrous addition to the growing canon of Irish mystery writing, it's a terrific bonus to mystery writing as a whole." ---Ken Bruen, author of "Once Were Cops
""Brian McGilloway's command of plot and assurance of language make it dif?cult to believe that "Borderlands" is his debut." ---"The Times" (UK)
"A mystery of labyrinthine complexity." ---"Sunday Telegraph" (UK)
"McGilloway evocatively describes the landscape of the border area . . . and captures small-town rural Ireland. Ben Devlin is an appealing character . . . and the supporting cast are well drawn." ---"Times Literary Supplement" (UK)
"Brian McGilloway is a name to keep in mind. He has written a taut, well-paced story with strong characters and an ingenious plot that seizes the reader's attention from page one and holds it to the last sentence." ---"Irish Independent
""McGilloway conveys a believable portrait of a real, troubled, and coping-as-best-they-can population in the new Ireland, with all its contradictions and complexities." ---"International Noir Fiction
""This is an impressive debut, the writing is tight, the plot is complex but well paced, the characters are well drawn...and the resolution was surprising."---"ReviewingTheEvidence.com
""A gripping thriller."---"The Irish News"
