About this title

Review:

`The Rising continues Brian McGilloway's excellent run of novels featuring Benjamin Devlin, the Irish Garda inspector...Devlin bucks the crime-fiction trend by being just a good ordinary cop, a sympathetic family man without too many hang-ups or foibles. The novel is no worse off for that.'
--The Times

'Sure to cement McGilloway's reputation in the annals of crime writing.' --CrimeSquad

'McGilloway affirms his status as one of the most exciting crime writers around.'
--Sunday Tribune

`Finding his stride, Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin run up against a ruthless land of former paramilitaries turned vigilantes calling themselves The Rising. But then one too many drug dealers are put out of action and a crisis hits Devlin's personal life.' --Daily Mirror

'Brian McGilloway is on top form with his fourth Benedict Devlin novel, THE RISING...The classic police procedural - with a believable and satisfyingly convoluted plot that will demand your full attention, with clues and misdirection aplenty.' --Eurocrime

`A relief to come upon a police thriller which is told in a bare yet skilful way...Garda investigation and forensics techniques are well researched and written, but not bludgeoned home...McGilloway has a healthy respect for his readers' intelligence.'
--Book of the Week, Irish Times

'This book should carry a health warning for insomniacs -- once taken up, it is impossible to put down. The reader certainly will not fall asleep as the cunningly constructed narrative belts along.' --Irish Independent

'McGilloway improves with every novel, and the latest Inspector Devlin - Morse without the affectations, basically - is fast becoming an annual must-read.' --Sunday Independent

'Brian McGilloway is putting together an excellent series of crime novels that are the equal of anything out there in Britain and Ireland at present. This is an excellent addition, a tense and emotional story that boils gently towards a climax that matches the sophistication of the plot and McGilloway's unusually considered approach.'
--materialwitness.com

'I really loved the plotting in this novel - confident, convoluted and challenging. Brian McGilloway is great at keeping so many balls in the air that even an experienced crime-fiction reader such as me had plenty of surprises in store.'
