Críticas:
For Penance: "To classify Penance as a mere police procedural would be to do it a serious injustice. Because, you see, like all good crime fiction, this book is about so much more than its back cover copy might suggest. The author, Dan O'Shea, calls Penance a "multi-generational tale of what happens when family secrets and dirty politics are blown into the light of day by a madman with a gun, all set against Chicago's history and culture of corruption." That's certainly an accurate - and eloquent - description, but it offers only the subtlest of hints at the depth that lies within; when you crack the cover of this novel, you'll discover there's a whole lot more there, lurking just below the surface. Buy yourself a copy of Penance, and prepare to dive in." - Katrina Niidas Holm, Criminal Element. "Penance is part detective novel and part thriller - like Michael Connelly crossed with Robert Ludlum (think Harry Bosch with extra fire power and added international intrigue). Penance is also aided by being a novel of ideas with strong themes - past sins returning; the importance of redemption - which prevent it from turning into a shoot-em-up." - Killing Time. "Wonder how Harry Bosch would read walking the streets of Michael Mann's Chicago? Look no further than Detective John Lynch. Smart, sophisticated and as serious as a .45 in full battery, Penance makes the bulk of cliche-riddled crime fiction sound flat-footed by comparison." - Peter Farris, author of Last Call for the Living. "Penance is a rare novel, at once staggering in scope and achingly human. A brutal, white-knuckled tale of betrayal and redemption in which the sins of the fathers are laid upon their children tenfold, O'Shea's astonishing debut delivers pulse-pounding thrills and the beating heart to match. Fans of Le Carre and Lehane had best take note." - Chris F. Holm, author of Dead Harvest and The Wrong Goodbye. "Penance is a rich, gritty, terrific novel. O'Shea can throw a punch and turn a phrase with the very best of them. Even better, he knows the human heart inside out." - Lou Berney, author of Gutshot Straight and Whiplash River. "A non-stop adrenaline rush, beginning, middle and end; half Stephen Hunter, half American Tabloid, Daniel O'Shea's Penance is a bona fide blockbuster." - Owen Laukkanen, author of The Professionals. "Penance has one foot in Bourne and the other in The Untouchables, but tells a very human story of loss and atonement. A great thriller that ranges from the streets of 1970';s Chicago to the highest levels of modern power, with tight dialogue and righteuous violence. One for fans of crime, espionage and mayhem." - Jay Stringer, author of Old Gold.
Reseña del editor:
Ex-Marine, Nick Hardin, heads back from a decade in Africa to his hometown, Chicago, with $100 million in blood diamonds stolen from an Al Qaeda's financing pipeline. His retirement plan? To cash out through a Chicago Mossad contact and head for the beach. But soon, Hardin's stuck in Chicago with diamonds he can't sell and a series of hit men, mobsters, and a Washington off-the-books black ops team on his tail. The resulting body count leaves Chicago detective John Lynch trying to find connections among the victims, while simultaneously solving the murder of a dead infectious disease expert who'd drafted a biological weapons plan that could turn Chicago into a ghost town.
