The New York Times-bestselling author’s "comic thriller sends a hard-luck New Jersey club owner tumbling through a mad, mad world of assorted nuts" (Kirkus Reviews).As a down-on-his-luck Irish bouncer at a seedy New Jersey bar, Daniel Mc Evoy succeeded in solving a bizarre string of murders-including that of the girl he loved-with the help of a motley crew of unlikely characters. But that wasn’t the end of his troubles. Now, after being politely asked at gunpoint to deliver a package for a local gangster who blames Mc Evoy for his mother’s death, he’s dodging traps and eluding corrupt cops while also trying to locate a missing aunt with a serious drinking problem. If he doesn’t develop one himself first . . . "Mc Evoy’s nicely evoked mix of Irish fatalism, resigned violence, and hilarity would make any story a winner; the cast of witty, quirky supporting characters and the pleasingly twisted story line are a bonus. Recommended for readers who enjoy the gritty crime and humor of Elmore Leonard and Michael Van Rooy." -Booklist"Compared with that criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl, Dan Mc Evoy is a bungling idiot. But that’s essentially the appeal of Eoin Colfer’s first adult protagonist." -The New York Times Book Review"Entertaining . . . His terse, muscular prose makes even a car chase seem like a new idea." -Kirkus Reviews
