Reviews"An intricate mystery that is so on-target in its portrayal of Irish Catholics in America in general and in San Francisco in particular that it transcends the genre."--Dick Lochte, author of Running Dog . "Polished and fast-paced . . . keep you riveted until the convincing but supersede finale."--Nikolae Gerstner, author of Dark Veil and co-author of Finders Keepers, Praise for Dead Irish "Full of the things I like....Lescroart's a pro."--Jonathan Kellerman "Unusual and powerful."-- Booklist "Possessed of a singular writer's instinct, Lescroart...produces a full-bodied, substantive, and stylistic effort of the first order."-- Library Journal "A beautifully written San Francisco murder story with perfect-pitch dialogue."-- Playboy "The killer proves to be as fascinating a personality as Hardy himself."-- Publishers Weekly "With John Lescroart's polished writing, Dead Irish becomes more than a mystery novel with a bartender as detective. With razored precision, characters stand out, flawed and human....Chilling in its intensity, this is an ingenious tale of many different kinds of people."-- Pasadena Star-News
