Product Description

Review

McGilloway's most accomplished, most gripping, and most sophisticated novel yet.'
--Tangled Web

'McGilloway improves with every novel, and the latest Inspector Devlin -- Morse without the affectations, basically -- is fast becoming an annual must-read.' --Sunday Independent

Product Description

When a controversial American senator is attacked during the opening of a Donegal gold mine, Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin is blamed for a lapse in security. The shooting of an illegal immigrant in Belfast the same day leads Devlin to a vicious people-smuggling ring operating in the city. Then Leon Bradley, the young environmentalist who attacked the senator, is found murdered near the site of the mine. Devlin questions the group of itinerant travellers who have gathered around a nearby river hoping to strike gold themselves, and soon is becomes clear to Devlin that the mine is a front for something far more sinister. Bleed a River Deep is the new novel from one of the most acclaimed new crime-writers on the scene: a labyrinthine tale of big business, the new Europe, and the dispossessed. Politics, industry and the criminal underworld collide in McGilloway’s most accomplished, most gripping, and most sophisticated novel yet.

Format:Hardcover
A U.S diplomat is attacked, the murder of a illegal immigrant leading to people smuggling, and a gold mine with subsequent gold rush are all feathured in this 3rd outing for Inspector Devlin.
This series is set on the Irish Borders, and definitely someone I could see as a new 'Rebus'. McGilloway brings so many great characters to his stories, and there is enough tension and intrique to keep you reading to the end. The fact that Devlin is working in the borders means he cannot investigate over the borderline and this adds to the plot, and his married life and attitude is also well portrayed.
Whether your a Inspector Devlin fan or a complete virgin then I recommend everyone give Brian McGilloway a read.

Devlin still strong 14 July 2009
Format:Hardcover
Third book in and Devlin is still a compelling character, his evolving relationships with work and family alike having real believability. And it's not just the imperfection of the relationships, it's the man's imperfection as an investigator - the mistakes he makes and questionable retaliations - that makes him so attractive. This book still has the complexity of the previous two, which keeps the pace lively, but where Gallows Lane became a little swamped towards the end with many players in a single game here a clear division between different crimes being examined simultaneously (though they are related) makes the threads easier to follow. It does mean that a little too much happens "off camera" as Devlin can't be everywhere at once, but on balance I'd rather the divisions were there. The writing is less lyrical than book one, but arguably that's how Devlin as the narrator becomes more real.

Strongly recommend these books.
