Witty and violent, fast-paced and evocative, Falling Glass is McKinty at his best - and back on his home turf.

'Another winner, with pathos, insight, sardonic humour and lyrical descriptions that counterpoint the red-hot sequences to superb effect' (Guardian) 'McKinty is a streetwise, energetic gunslinger of a writer, firing off volleys of sassy dialogue and explosive action that always delivers what it promises... Skilfully constructed and full throttle forwards' (Irish Times)
