"Stuart Neville has a lock on dread....full-bodied and credible....The question Mr. Neville raises with singularly artful drama is whether survival is enough to keep one going. We'll see."—Pittsburgh Post Gazette "Neville's sophomore effort is just as well written and just as violent as his debut...Neville creates sympathy for his characters in the midst of violence and betrayal and reveals Northern Ireland as a country still under the effects of decades of terror."—Library Journal, Starred Review "Terrifyingly authentic, shiveringly good. "—Val McDermid, author of The Mermaids Singing "I read this new novel with something bordering on awe. Nobody should be as damn talented as Stuart Neville. Collusion is a magnificent novel. "—Ken Bruen, author of Once Were Cops | "The violence in Stuart Neville's novels about Northern Ireland is about as nasty as it gets in noir crime fiction..."—New York Times Book Review "A striking follow-up to The Ghosts of Belfast."—Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel "Riveting....Neville's deft style builds mounting tension, and his characters, all tragic figures, are skillfully developed....The violence, administered up close and personal—and the rage of those who commit it—is almost operatic. A feast for thriller fans."—Booklist, Starred Review "Collusion is that rare beast: a second novel that not only lives up to the promise of the first, but actually exceeds it. Thankfully, it seems like Stuart Neville is going to be with us for a long time."—John Connolly, author of Every Dead Thing |
