'Nicola Tallant, not for the first time, demonstrates why she is the very best writer on crime. No novelist alive could ever imagine the very complex and very dark human dramas that she skilfully unravels, delivering page after page of truth-telling that we must pay attention to' -- Darragh MacIntyre 'Tallant's sober and unsettling book proves beyond all doubt that this has become one of the most shameful blights on our society' * Irish Independent * 'The book's power comes from bringing myriad strands of Ireland's underworld together, it clarifies the scale of the violence, the ruthless ambition, the challenges and dangers facing the Gardaí, the PSNI, the courts and the visceral disregard for life or law' * Irish Examiner *
