Product Description
Review
'I have seen the future of Irish crime fiction and it's called Declan Burke. Here is talent writ large - mesmerizing, literate, smart and gripping. If there is such an animal as the literary crime novel, then this is it. But as a compelling crime novel, it is so far ahead of anything being produced, that at last my hopes for crime fiction are renewed. I can't wait to read his next novel.' Ken Bruen, author of London Boulevard and The Killing of the Tinkers
Hank Wagner, Mystery Scene
"Eight Ball Boogie proves to be that rare commodity, a first novel
that reads as if it were penned by a writer in mid-career ... (it) marks
the arrival of a new master of suspense on the literary scene."

5.0 out of 5 stars
hardboiled and noirish, yet fresh and hip,
By J. Jordan "Editor of Crimespree Magazine" (milwaukee, wi United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Eight-ball Boogie (Paperback)
Declan Burke has written a wonderful book. I love the main character, Harry Rigby. He is such an everyman. He has troubles, and he has bad habits. And there is a part of me in there that I hate to admit to.The story itself is great. It's fast paced and filled with wonderful characters through out. A PI story that moves forward like freight train. I felt every punch thrown, I shivered when the setting got cold. I hope to see many more from this author.
