In scene after gruesome scene, Neville attempts to persuade us that this timearound, with this repentant murderer, the killing is different.--The Washington Post Neville's tightly wound, emotionally resonant account of an ex-IRA hit man's struggleto conquer his past, displays an acute understanding of the true state of Northern Ireland, still under the thumb of decades of violence and terrorism.--Los Angeles Times Stuart Neville is Ireland's answer to Henning Mankell.--Ken Bruen The Ghosts of Belfast is a tale of revenge and reconciliation shrouded in a bloodyoriginal crime thriller. . . .
