Description
Named one of 2012's 10 best crime novels by Kirkus Reviews, Disappeared is the haunting tale of Northern Ireland where the Troubles may never have ended. Perceiving two mysterious and violent incidents as a sign of something much larger, Inspector Celcius Daly knows an old hatred is resurfacing, and a bloodbath broods ahead. Until now, Emerald Isle experienced its first taste of peace, and it is up to a Catholic detective (in a Protestant nation) to restore that peace and solve a murder, digging deep into the garish history of a land stained red with blood.
Ken Bruen calls this debut novel, "A major piece of work. Eerily tender, a wonderfully wrought classic that is a landmark in the fiction of Northern Ireland."
Advance Praise
First novels seldom show up as confident and mature as Disappeared. This novel of terror and a man seemingly brought back from the dead is as enthralling as anything I've read in the past several years. - Otto Penzler
"Quinn enriches Disappeared with Irish history and he does an excellent job of ratcheting up the tension as this yarn progresses." -The Rap Sheet
"Quinn has developed a plot that immerses the reader into darkness we have only read abou in the papers or seen on the late night news." - The Morris Chair
"Celcius Daly is a decent, hardworking police officer in a world that seems dead-set against him. His hard work and determination to get to the truth, no matter what the costs are, are admirably heroic qualities and make him a most agreeable protagonist." - At the Scene of the Crime
