As brisk and brustal and an episode of The Wire, Saints of New York is a fast-paced and gripping thriller set in the crooked world of the NYPD.
By the author of A Quiet Belief in Angels, praised by Michael Connelly as “a beautiful and haunting book,” Saints of New York is a powerful new crime novel. NYPD Detective Frank Parrish barely notices the death of a young heroin dealer―just another casualty of the drug war. But when the dealer's sister turns up as the first of many corpses, Frank must try desperately to make sense of the disturbingly uniform deaths―all while battling his own demons. Frank is the son of a legendary NYPD detective and one of the original “Saints of New York” who cleaned up the Mafia in the 1980s. As the murders accelerate, Frank struggles to fulfill the legacy of his father and piece together not only his case, but also his life. Dark and intense, Saints of New York is a novel of corruption and redemption, of the relentless persistence required to find the truth, and of one man’s search for meaning amidst the ghosts of his own conscience."Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
This is a marvellous, nail-biting roller-coaster ride of a novel, perhaps the best British-written police procedural for several years. SAINTS OF NEW YORK is also much more than that: a meditation on guilt, suffering, and the sins of the fathers, from one of our brightest and best talents. (CATHOLIC HERALD)
Saints Of New York is a tour de force and deserves considerable success. (DAILY EXPRESS)
Like his maverick protagonist, Ellory shows evidence of frustration at having to "colour inside the lines", yet his skill in doing so makes the familiar entertaining. Even when the plot is following a prescribed sequence, it never quite feels as though he is going through the motions. (Sam Byers TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT)
Ellory can write. His prose is spare, telegraphic and lyrical. The dialogue is sharp and convincing... The climax is masterful, a chaotic collision of the planned and the unforeseen which illustrates just how well Ellory is in charge of his characters and his plot. Saints of New York just couldn't be better. (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD)
Dark and intense, Saints of New York opens, quite literally, with a blood bath, and from there you are in the master's hands and he's not letting go until that last satisfying page is turned. (CRIMESQUAD)
It's a suspenseful and interesting tale, beautifully written in an all-American style. It was a surprise to learn that the author is actually British; but so, of course, was Raymond Chandler. (LITERARY REVIEW)
There's a darkly lyrical cadence to his writing that engages your emotions and compels you to care about the characters he creates in his utterly compulsive thrillers. This one grabs your heart, squeezes your gut and fills you with dread at what might befall troubled New York detective Frank Parrish. You certainly can't put it down, forget it, or escape the intensity of the ride Ellory takes you on. 10/10 (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH)
Saints of New York pulls no punches with a gritty and unsettling narrative that cements Ellory's reputation as a rising star of crime fiction... uncompromising and utterly compelling. (WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY)
It could be so clichéd - an irreverent, hard-drinking gumshoe with a broken marriage, a hooker on the side and a tough case to solve. But Ellory crafts this premise into a truly exceptional drama. (DAILY RECORD)
