The Rage by Gene Kerrigan
Vincent Naylor is a professional thief, as confident as he is reckless. Just ten days out of jail, and he's preparing his next robbery. Already, his plan is unravelling. While investigating the murder of a crooked banker, Detective Sergeant Bob Tidey gets a call from an old acquaintance, Maura Coady. The retired nun believes there's something suspicious happening in the Dublin backstreet where she lives alone. Maura's call inadvertently unleashes a storm of violence that will engulf Vincent Naylor and force Tidey to make a deadly choice. The Rage is a masterpiece of suspense, told against the background of a country's shameful past and its troubled present.
A stunning novelHere at last is the Irish Chandler. Naylor is a villain worthy of Elmore Leonard in his prime. And the novel sings, even the violence is a piece of lyrical artistry. A book that is indeed tough, in your face but it is the sheer tenderness that lingers. -- Ken Bruen
