Collusion

De: Stuart Neville

Narrado por: Gerard Doyle

From the LA Times Book Award-winning author of The Ghosts of Belfast, Stuart Neville, comes the exciting sequel: Collusion

Collusion returns listeners to Belfast, where a new mystery haunts its underbelly. Jack Lennon is a Detective Inspector trying to track down his former lover, Marie McKenna, and their daughter, but his superiors tell him to back off. Bull O'Kane is a bitter old man who will stop at nothing for vengeance. The Traveller is an assassin without pity or remorse, who stalks Belfast, tying up loose ends. Forced into the center of it all is former IRA paramilitary Gerry Fegan, who must confront his past - and The Traveller - for the fight of his life.

The early reviews for Collusion are just as strong as those for The Ghosts of Belfast. And Gerard Doyle's narration complements Neville's taut, sinister, smart, and suspenseful story perfectly. Collusion is a feast for thriller fans.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Irish author Neville follows his stunning debut with an even more powerful tale of revenge, violence, and redemption. Neville rides the perfect Celtic storm in an action-packed, cerebral thriller." ( Publishers Weekly)
"James Ellroy and Val McDermid were among admirers of Stuart Neville's corpse-filled debut [ The Ghosts of Belfast], and his follow-up Collusion is another mesmerising Belfast blood bath. The Traveller and O'Kane are memorably grotesque creations, and Neville's violent showdowns rival those in Jacobean revenge plays." ( Sunday Times)
" Collusion is a gripping thriller that transcends its genre through an unflinching examination of how 40 years of internecine strife has left unhealed scars that resonate in all levels of life in the North today." ( Irish Independent)

"As it lurches toward its bloody conclusion, the chapters of Collusion shrink, the world contracts, and, ultimately, all that remains is survival. The question Mr. Neville raises with singularly artful drama is whether survival is enough to keep one going." ( Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

"Doyle’s performance of Lennon’s grit and vulnerabilities gives credibility to both, and his portrayals of the brutal villains are downright terrifying." ( AudioFile)

BOOK 2 IN THE SERIES DO READ 1 FIRST- JUST SUPERB

Any additional comments?

Collusion starts where his first novel, the Ghosts of Belfast, leaves off, & book one is just incredible. The series is based in Ireland directly after the ongoing troubles with the IRA & the Loyalists.

A modern noir writer with an outlook as bleak as it gets. Every task, even when successful, is thankless. In this story, an Irish cop has to save his daughter from an amoral murderer who is stalking the girl and her mother. Not only is the cop up against a wily and savage killer, he is thwarted at every turn by the corruption of an Irish police bureaucracy that doesn't want him to upset any apple carts. This is terrific writing from a singular voice is very highly recommended.

Has the same wonderful and colorful characters that you grew to love and hate. Don't read this series out of order, big mistake. Neville is the kind of writer who starts out rather slowly, and you're reading along and all of a sudden, Wham! And you say to yourself, "Did I just read what I thought I read?" Lots of action and suspense. You'll love this series.

But do start with Book One.

Good Book

A good book that is well narrated. I would recommend this to my friends and family. Thanks to Audible for having this in store.

Great book

Great series all 4 books in this series is well worth the money and time hard to put down

What a ripsnorter! And the narration of the great Gerard Doyle.

This is a compelling, gritty story, the second in a series about DI Jack Lennon. You won’t be disappointed if you enjoy noir. A great listen.

Great Sequel

I loved Collusion and The Ghosts of Belfast. Pretty rough and gritty and read really well by the narrator. the only negative is the mouth noises in Collusion were quite bad at times. After listening to Ghosts of Belfast, I wonder if this is an Audible problem with editing, as the first book was narrated beautifully. Still it wasnt so bad i couldnt finish it. I hope Stuart Neville keeps writing more books like this.
