A screenwriter needs to research Dublin’s violent criminals, but falls prey to gangster chic. How deep is too deep for his research? Ireland's Hundred Thousand Welcomes continues to draw immigrants to its faltering Celtic Tiger economy. For those hundreds of thousands of Poles - Catholic, hard-working, white and like the Irish, survivors of an overbearing neighbour - Ireland works. But the Tiger devours too. Barely a week in Ireland. 20-year-old Tadeusz Klos lies in a coma on a rainswept Dublin street. He will not survive. This murder is a tipping point. Gang violence has made Dublin’s streets a battleground. Media outrage in Poland and Ireland push the Gardaí to come up with answers. Should the fabled specialist Murder Squad really have been disbanded three years ago? Minogue is suddenly in demand. ‘Whatever you need’ he is told. With the Polish embassy pressing for answers, Garda brass passes on the pressure to Minogue. Yet Minogue’s arrival is already resented in the city Garda station into which he has been parachuted. With little to go on, Minogue soon forms a picture of a chance event: bad timing, a swarm of drunken youths, racist impulses finding an outlet. Hecontinues to call in favours, and slowly that picture begins to cloud and turn to a different story entirely. Tadeusz Klos was no angel either. He was involved in petty crime back in Poland. Ready or not, Minogue is about to drop down a crevasse into Dublin’s underworld. Not far from the busy world-class shopping and the crowded nightclubs, is where drug lords and their hired killers rule. ‘The Celtic boom may have busted but it has left behind the crime that comes with prosperity. There are no happy endings with John Brady, no pulled punches. There is justice, and heartbreak, and the knowledge that the streets will be just as dirty and dangerous tomorrow.’ - National Post (Canada)

About the Author A native of Dublin, John divides his time between Ireland and Canada, where he and his wife Hanna raise their family. Growing up in Ireland, with a mother from the west of Ireland and a father from Dublin, home was where talk and imagination and character were at to the core of life. Everyone had a story, a song, a joke. John continues to follow the lure of travel. rambling in Ireland’s Burren or Dublin's streets, or hill-walking in southern Austria. Trained as a teacher, he still goes by the axiom that only that which is useless, or can’t be taught, is irresistible.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The going rate By Clare O'Beara Another crime tale set in Dublin.Sadly this is not a patch on Brady's earlier works. I blame the editor, or apparent lack of one. The production of the book is not great either: the print is ragged right edge instead of justified making it hard to read. The tale is about twice as long as it needs to be and we get chapter after chapter covering the same scenes, such as questioning four young people and their smart legal-aid lawyer and getting nothing out of them for hours on end, just because there aren't any other witnesses the police have found yet. (Hint to writers; you can skip ahead you know!) There are also a few details which are incorrect because Brady doesn't live in Ireland - a Garda car is an 'Octavia' which has never been used by them in Ireland. Here they mainly use Ford Focus and Maestro cars, occasionally others for undercover such as Audi.The main detective is Matt Minogue, who seems fairly useless and out of place in the modern era, making no effort to get to grips, shunted off to International liaison in HQ and dealing with a sad case of a dead Polish man. His younger colleague Malone, doing much more serious work, is the only one with a clue.A large portion of the book is the interspersed tale of a man called Fanning who wants to make a TV drama about a crime underclass. He doesn't even have a script. In his quest for reality the man pays weird people to take him to a vicious dog fight with betting, a gunrunning deal and other unpleasant places where nobody sane should be. This idiot is neglecting his own family and toadying up to anyone who might finance his ideas. Inevitably he gets in to situations he can't handle and is used by the criminals. But we saw that coming from the start, we never liked him and we have no sympathy, and why have we had to spend hours reading about this idiot and the worst people in the world?At the very end we get a nasty crime scene for Malone and Minogue to walk into and if the editor had done any work we'd have got there a lot sooner.I have been a huge fan of Brady and I very much encourage readers to start with Kaddish in Dublin and A Stone of The Heart, moving on to The Good Life. Those are well written literary crime stories worth reading. Brady is an Irish man living in Canada.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Too Much Realism? By Debra Purdy Kong When a Polish immigrant is found beaten to death on the streets of Dublin, officer Matt Minogue is asked to investigate. Meanwhile, aspiring screen writer, Dermot Fanning, is busily researching Dublin's crime scene. Fanning wants realism in his work, and gets more than he bargained for by witnessing a barbaric dog fight (this will be hard for animal lovers to read), among other things.I have mixed feelings about this book. Details about the grittier aspects of Dublin are terrific, Minogue's character is well drawn, and the author nicely balances the personal lives of characters with the main plot. The problem was that Fanning's lack of common sense is so annoying that I found myself speed reading through his chapters, hoping to return to Minogue's story. Minogue's investigation became disappointing as well. Too many pages are spent interviewing surly, uncooperative teens who might, or might not, know how the victim died. These scenes slow the pace and, at times, actually diminish the tension with repetitious dialogue. Happily, the action picks up again near the end but, as in real police investigations, it seems to take a long time to get results in this 360 page novel.Debra
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I couldn't finish it! By Robert M. Ferguson I thoroughly enjoyed all the previous books in this series except Islandbridge (rated it only 2 stars). This one was even worse. I put it aside twice and finally at the 33% mark I just gave up on it. Plodding, dull, uninteresting. Not sure if it's even worth reading the Coast Road. (Wish I had only bought them one at time instead buying all three ( based upon my enjoyment of the preceding books). I'll certainly not buy any further books by John Brady.
