A stunning novel. Here at last is the Irish Chandler. Naylor is a villain worthy of Elmore Leonard in his prime

The Rage is a gripping thriller written with such authority and authenticity that it almost feels like documentary. If you love crime fiction, you owe it to yourself to read Gene Kerrigan

Stuart Neville

Kerrigan's bruising depiction of Dublin's underbelly is wrought with hard-boiled lyricism

Metro

Pacy...cuts close to the bone

Irish Independent

Written in Kerrigan's trademark, sparse style, it rattles along the way all good crime fiction should

The Irish Independent
