Riassunto

His name is the Priest. His weapon is a crucifix. His victims don't have a prayer.

A killer is stalking the dark streets of Dublin. Before each attack, he makes the sign of the cross; then he sends his victims to God.

After a foreign politican's daughter is brutally assaulted and left for dead, her body branded with burns from a blazing cross, the case falls to Detective Inspector Mike Mulcahy. Mulcahy is one tough cop, but this crime is beyond comprehension - and The Priest is a nemesis more evil and elusive than any Mulcahy has ever faced: an angel of death with a soul dark as hell.

As a media frenzy erupts and the city reels in terror, Mulcahy teams up with ambitious journalist Siobhan Fallon in a desperate bid to stop The Priest in his tracks before he can complete his divine mission of murder.

Recensione:

Fast-paced, exciting and thrilling, this is an impressive debut (Sunday Times Ireland)

A sure command of plot and pacing, a lively sense of locale and a quirky sense of character (Irish Independent)

In Mike Mulcahy, O'Donovan has created a well-drawn, multi-faceted cop who readers are likely to want to spend more time with in the future...an impressive debut, with a well-paced plot and enough twists to keep the reader interested until the last page (Sunday Business Post (Ireland))

It is difficult to believe that The Priest is Gerard O'Donovan's first novel, so gripping and assured is it. And, one asks, in crime-writing terms, is Ireland becoming the new Scotland? (The Times)
