'Some of the very best crime fiction being written today' Lee Child on Bad Blood

_________

When a young woman is found beaten to death on a building site in what appears to be a sexually-motivated killing, Devlin is distracted from his assignment of keeping tabs on Kerr. Enquiries into the murder soon point to a local bodybuilder and steroid addict. But days later, the born-again ex-con Kerr is found nailed to a tree?crucified.

Increasingly torn between his young family and his job, Devlin is determined to apprehend those responsible for the murders before they strike again, even as the carnage begins to jeopardize those he cares about most.

Taking its title from the name of the road down which condemned Donegal criminals were once led,Gallows Lane is a sharp, modern thriller; a stunning second installment in what John Connolly says is set to become one of the great series in modern crime fiction.

________

In his critically acclaimed debut, Borderlands, Brian McGilloway opened a window onto modern Ireland through the eyes of Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin, drawing comparisons to John Connolly and Ian Rankin for his tight, fast-paced plotting.

Praise for Gallows Lane

'Outstanding' Publisher's Weekly
Praise for Borderlands

'Brian McGilloway's command of plot and assurance of language make it difficult to believe that Borderlands is his debut.' The Times

'A mystery of labyrinthine complexity' Sunday Telegraph

Industry Reviews

Hurt is only Black's second outing, it's a nimbly written and cleverly plotted tale. It's the details of the Derry landscape as much as the investigation into the murder of a teenage girl that held my interest. Give Black a try: this could be the start of a beautiful friendship. - Daily Telegraph

I thought this book was excellent. The characters were realistic and the setting was painted vividly, if frighteningly... I'd certainly recommend this book both for McGilloway fans and if you just want a good crime book to read. - thecrimewarp

This a very well-paced story, which ratchets up a gear towards the end. Crime fiction and police procedural fans will enjoy this. Lucy Black is a welcome addition to the ranks of fictional detectives. - randomthingsthroughmyletterbox

McGilloway is a major force in crime writing.
