A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

PRAISE FOR THE DYING BREED (**)

A very fine writer (Sunday Telegraph)

Hughes is not afraid to take his references and run with them, he is not afraid to have a good time. Above all, he is not afraid of writing well (Anne Enright, Guardian)

'A deeply atmospheric writer . . . [Hughes'] keen ear for the demotic, his sharp eye for the damning detail, makes The Dying Breed a vivid, gripping, and . . . chilling read.' (Claire Kilroy, Irish Times)

Hughes is an impressive talent (Irish Independent)

'The book is rich in character and strong in narration and will keep the reader glued right through to the last line' (Expressit)

This intelligent, often brutal thriller will have readers' hearts racing from start to finish. (Publishers Weekly starred review)

As crisply written as his previous books, Hughes is definitely onto another winner (Dublin Evening Herald)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Even the best private eye needs more than a name to find a missing person—but that's all the information Ed Loy gets from Father Vincent Tyrrell, brother of prominent racehorse trainer F. X. Tyrrell. Loy is not without luck, however, and a phone number inadvertently discovered on an unidentified body sends him digging deep into the Tyrrells' family history. But there is more to this revered clan of horse breeders, traders, and gamblers than meets the eye—a fact confirmed by the death of two more people with connections to the Tyrrells. On the eve of one of Ireland's most anticipated sporting events, Loy is betting his life in order to disrupt a twisted killer's master plan.

Deadly passions beget dark secrets in a chilling story that will have readers on edge throughout, as award-winning author Declan Hughes once again paints an arresting portrait of an Ireland not found in any guidebooks.
