See what reviewers are saying: “Pat Mullan blends political intrigue and murder with a unique Irish flavor that goes down smooth. His hero, Ed Burke, is striking – almost an anti-hero in some respects. To unravel the deception and save himself, Burke must test old friendships, and determine who to trust in an Ireland changed by The Celtic Tiger. LAST DAYS OF THE TIGER is a tight, intelligent thriller. Pat Mullan writes suspense with an edge reminiscent of Bob Ludlum. An author to watch! ” Cerri Ellis, Mostly Mystery Reviews. “A high-powered legal thriller chocked full of betrayal, deceit, corruption, and murder. Mullan is Ireland’s answer to John Grisham, with a smattering of Ross MacDonald thrown in.” J.A.Konrath, author of RUSTY NAIL This blog post can be found at allmysteryenewsletter/?p=7845
