At the
Guardian, novelist Brian McGilloway named his top ten modern Irish crime novels.
One title on the list:
The Big O by Declan Burke
Declan Burke is single-handedly supporting Irish crime fiction at his site www.crimealwayspays.blogspot.com
but he is also a terrific crime writer himself. The Big O charts the relationship of armed robber Karen and her new lover Ray. Throw in an ex-prisoner looking to set up a support group and a wolf called Anna and you have some sense of a novel which recalls Elmore Leonard at his best.
