“Declan Burke is his own genre. The Lammisters dazzles, beguiles and transcends. Virtuoso from start to finish.” – Eoin McNamee “This bourbon-smooth riot of jazz-age excess, high satire and Wodehouse flamboyance is a pitch-perfect bullseye of comic brilliance.” – Irish Independent Books of the Year 2019 “This rapid-fire novel deserves a place on any bookshelf that grants asylum to PG Wodehouse, Flann O’Brien or Kyril Bonfiglioli.” – Eoin Colfer, Guardian Best Books of the Year 2019 “The funniest book of the year.” – Sunday Independent “Declan Burke is one funny bastard. The Lammisters ... conducts a forensic analysis on the anatomy of a story.” – Liz Nugent “Burke’s exuberant prose takes centre stage … He plays with language like a jazz soloist stretching the boundaries of musical theory.” – Totally Dublin “A mega-meta smorgasbord of inventive language ... linguistic verve not just on every page but every line.Irish Times “Above all, The Lammisters gives the impression of a writer enjoying himself. And so, dear reader, should you.” – Sunday Times “A triumph of absurdity, which burlesques the literary canon from Shakespeare, Pope and Austen to Flann O’Brien … The Lammisters is very clever indeed.” – The Guardian

Publication: BLOOD RED TURNS DOLLAR GREEN, Vol. 3 by Paul O’Brien

Hollywood has already come calling for Paul O’Brien, the Wexford-based author of the ‘Blood Red Turns Dollar Green’ wrestling-noir novels. The phenomenal response to his books, and particularly from the professional wrestling community, is all the more impressive when you realise Paul has self-published his titles. The third in the trilogy, BLOOD RED TURNS DOLLAR GREEN, VOL. 3, has just been published. To wit:
It’s 1984. Twelve years after the New York territory was nearly burned to the ground. Twelve years since a bullet changed everything. Twelve years since Lenny Long saw his family. Twelve years is a long time to think. Twelve years is a long time to plan. Twelve years is just about the perfect amount of time for revenge. Blood Red Turns Dollar Green, Vol. 3 is the final book in the #1 Bestselling crime trilogy.
