Dead I Well May Be

Proof copy. 8vo., 311 pp. Printed wraps.

New York Irish bad-boy thriller – brimming with violence, greed and sexual betrayal. Nominated for the 2004 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award for the best thriller of the year. Chosen by Booklist as one of the ten best crime novels of the year. Author's second novel and the first in the Michael Forsythe neo-noir trilogy, of which McKinty's American publisher, Dan Mayer of Seventh Street books, says, "is at heart a historical mystery, even as it functions as a police procedural."

"Careens boisterously from Belfast to the Bronx... McKinty is a storyteller with the kind of style and panache that blur the line between genre and mainstream. Top-drawer." –Kirkus Reviews
