Quatrième de couverture
'The writing in Dark Times is urgent and uncluttered, the plotting taut...Kerrigan's real coup lies in his assured portrayal of Danny Callaghan, a man with a chequered history but more than a flicker of humanity' Metro
'Exhilarating ...Kerrigan's third novel does the business ... pacy, suspenseful ....opens with a bang' Sunday Times
Danny Callaghan is just out of jail and enjoying a quiet drink in a Dublin pub when two men walk in with guns. On impulse, he intervenes to rescue the intended victim, petty criminal Walter Bennett, and finds himself dragged into Dublin's murky underworld.As the police grope for answers, and Danny struggles to protect those he loves, the rising tensions between the gangs threatens to erupt into a bloody showdown.
Dark Times in the City portrays a society on the edge, where affluence and cocaine fuel a ruthless gang culture, and a man's impulse to do good may cost him the lives of those who matter the most.
'Muscular writing, a smart line in self deprecating humour, terrific dialogue and an engrossing portrayal of the sights and sounds of Dublin Noir' The Times
'Brilliant...unbearably tense, stomach-churningly frightening' Observer
'Sensational - the writing is crisp, the characterisation imbued with many shades of grey, the plotting serpentine but accessible and the anger red raw like an open wound' London Lite

Présentation de l'éditeur
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD 2009
Danny Callaghan is having a quiet drink in a Dublin pub when two men with guns walk in. They're here to take care of a minor problem - petty criminal Walter Bennett. On impulse, Callaghan intervenes to save Walter's life. Soon, his own survival is in question. With a troubled past and an uncertain future, Danny finds himself drawn into a vicious scheme of revenge.
Dark Times in the City depicts an edgy city where affluence and cocaine fuel a ruthless gang culture, and a man's fleeting impulse may cost the lives of those who matter most to him. Kerrigan's new novel is his finest yet; gripping from start to finish, powerful, original and impossible to put down.
