- Synopsis
- Hell hath no fury for Mike Rocks. He's fireproof; an anomaly caused by a slip-up in afterlife bureaucracy. Lucifer bundles him off as an embarrassing problem with a mission to introduce Satanism to Northern Ireland. And while he's at it, Mike can exact revenge on the men who took his life. FIREPROOF is equal parts crime fiction, dark urban fantasy and black comedy. For fans of Colin Bateman, Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski. scintillating, hilarious, surreal ? a total blast Ken Bruen, author of HEADSTONE FROM THE AUTHOR I always claimed to love Belfast, and most of the time, I did. But relationships can be tumultuous and in the end I parted ways with the wee city. FIREPROOF is our illegitimate lovechild. The weird one dressed in black, experimenting with eyeliner and Ouija boards. While I had fun in the writing of this outlandish and irreverent take on religion, morality and revenge, thereOCOs a jag or two in the humour. Expect violence, vengeance and offbeat philosophy. FIREPROOF is a snapshot of the end ofmy affair with Belfast. Now IOCOm settled down in a nice seaside town you wouldnOCOt be afraid to introduce to your mother, but IOCOll always remember those wild Belfast nights with a wicked grin on my face. PRAISE FOR WEE ROCKETS The Wire? This is Barbed Wire. A cheeky slice of urban noir, a drink-soaked, drug-addled journey into the violent underbelly of one of EuropeOCOs most notorious ghettos, Wee Rockets makes The Outsiders look like the Teletubbies ? Colin Bateman ?Gerard Brennan stands apart from the Irish crime fiction crowd with a novel rooted in the reality of todayOCOs Belfast. The authorOCOs prose speaks with a rare authenticity about the pain of growing up in a fractured society, shot through with a black humour that can only come from the streets. Wee Rockets is urban crime fiction for the 21st century, and Brennan is a unique voice among contemporary Irish writers. OCO ? Stuart Neville"
