Synopsis
Dan, an Irishman who's ended up in New Jersey, finds himself embroiled in a world of murder, kidnapping and corrupt cops.
Dan works as a bouncer in a seedy club, half in love with hostess Connie. When Connie is murdered on the premises, a vengeful Dan finds himself embroiled in an increasingly deadly sequence of events in which his doctor friend Zeb goes mysteriously missing, a cop-killing female cop becomes his only ally, and he makes an enemy of ruthless drug-dealer Mike Madden. Written with the warmth and wit that make the Artemis Fowl novels so irresistible, though with additional torture and violence, PLUGGED is a brilliant crime debut from a naturally gifted writer with a huge fanbase.

Review
'I loved the voice. I loved the dark streets. I love the story' (Harlan Coben)
'Silly? You bet. Entertaining? Most certainly' ( SN Weekly (Australia))
'Colfer has become something of a literary phenomenon . . . a radical change of direction for Colfer, but he handles this new playground with aplomb . . . The characters trade witty barbs with consummate ease' ( Hobart Mercury )
'Eoin Colfer . . . is hugely inventive and intelligent and an instinctive storyteller, who happens to write beautifully and elegantly as well' (Michael Morpurgo)
'Colfer is an engaging and inventive writer with a strong sense of the rhythm of a story . . . always entertaining page by page' ( Guardian )
'Artemis Fowl creator Eoin Colfer heads off into zanily comic adult noir territory with Plugged . . . McEvoy finds himself sucked into a maelstrom of outlandish criminal shenanigans, a knockabout farce with Elmore Leonard-style wisecracking at every turn' ( Metro )
'Violent, surreal and eccentric, this offering couldn't be further from his Artemis Fowl series' ( Sun )
'This is Sopranos territory - where terrible deeds are mixed with the painful banalities of life in a way that brings laughter among the tears and gnaws at your heart. It's a fine debut' ( Daily Mail )
'This might lead you to think you're in Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen or even Damon Runyon country, but you're not. Although there are echoes of all three writers in Plugged, Colfer's novel is dominated, driven and fully animated by a refreshingly original voice' ( Washington Post )
'A non-stop, fever-pitched crime thriller . . . Genius at work' (Ridley Pearson)
