Three hundred years ago, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed by one of their own, and slaughtered. Now a band of killers has returned to Sanctuary to seek revenge on a young woman and her son, and the only people who stand in their way are a young rookie officer and the island s resident policeman, the troubled giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree. But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the island s secrets, the repository of its memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in violence, and that its ghosts will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. On Sanctuary, the hunters are about to become the hunted.

Industry Reviews

Intricately plotted . . . Part violent thriller and part ghost story. This book will broaden Connolly's audience considerably, as it has a darkly moral undercurrent - Deadly Pleasures

His novels are dark; bleak, even. His characters are startlingly nasty and the violence unapologetic, though never gratuitous. Yet he writes with a compassion thats rare in the genre. - Sunday Business Post (Dublin)

Connolly has fast become one of the best thriller writers around - Ottakar's Fiction Newsletter

Remarkably assured and atmospheric crime novel . . . each successive Connolly novel has grown in authority and skill. . . Crime, horror and the supernatural are blended in a queasy mix that often has an almost physical impact on the reader. - Daily Express

He truly is a master of this genre and his latest novel, BAD MEN, is just another notch to add to his already impressive belt. - Irish World

Witty and sharp writing, a good story, and a fast-moving pace - Dublin Daily

It is impossible not to get caught up in the momentum of the time-honoured battle of good vs evil. - Irish Examiner

a rip-through, breathless read . . . you can't fault Connolly's ambition nor his professional, pacy style; nor his research - Sherlock
