Crime Always Pays: Git Along Li’l Dogie – Ye Olde Ende of Monthe Round-Up

Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean (Declan Burke, right, with Chief Helper Elf, the Princess Lilyput) but is in fact quite happy to share the latest news, reviews, gossip and slander about the dicks, dames and desperados of (mostly) Irish crime fiction in order to plug his own novels. We thank you for your cooperation. Contact: dbrodb(at)gmail.com. For agent enquiries, etc., contact Allan Guthrie, c/o Jenny Brown Associates.

BAD FOR GOOD – The Early Word

“A genuinely original take on noir, inventive and funny. Imagine, if you can, a cross between Flann O’Brien and Raymond Chandler.” – John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author of THE SEA

“BAD FOR GOOD is unlike anything else you’ll read this year … Laugh-out-loud funny … This is writing at its dazzling, cleverest zenith. Think John Fowles, via Paul Auster and Rolling Stone … a feat of extraordinary alchemy.” – Ken Bruen, author of AMERICAN SKIN

“Burke has written a deep, lyrical and moving crime novel … an intoxicating and exciting novel of which the master himself, Flann O’Brien, would be proud.” – Adrian McKinty, author FIFTY GRAND

“Stop waiting for Godot – he’s here. Declan Burke takes the existential dilemma of characters writing themselves and turns it on its ear, and then some. He gives it body and soul … an Irish soul.” – Reed Farrel Coleman, two-time Shamus Award-winning author of EMPTY EVER AFTER

“BAD FOR GOOD is shockingly original and completely entertaining. Post-modern crime fiction at its very best.” – John McFetridge, author of EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE

“A harrowing and yet hilarious examination of the gradual disintegration of a writer’s personality, as well as a damned fine noir novel … Burke has outdone himself this time; it’s a hell of a read.” – Scott Philips, author of THE ICE HARVEST

“The whole book is insane. It’s so gonzo that after reading it I felt as though I had turned into Hunter S Thompson. Funny, warped, cleverly written meta-fiction.” – Donna Moore, author of … GO TO HELENA HANDBASKET
