Daniel McEvoy has a problem. Well, really, he has several, but for this Irish ex-pat bouncer at a seedy, small-time casino the fact that his girlfriend was just murdered in the parking lot is uppermost in his mind.

That is until lots of people around him start dying, and not of natural causes. Suddenly Daniel’s got half the New Jersey mob, dirty cops and his man-crazy upstairs neighbor after him and he still doesn’t know what’s going on. Bullets are flying, everybody’s on the take and it all may be more than Daniel’s new hair plugs can handle.

And Daniel’s got to find the guy who put in those hair plugs—or at least his body—and fast, or else he’ll never get that voice out of his head.

Bronwyn Knox

A manly thriller with a manly guy, doing manly things. These include but are not limited to: beating the crap out of perverts, experiencing military PTSD, saving female police detectives from harm, attracting the opposite sex, and doing household repairs.

This is a relatively ordinary thriller but it did provide humor and escapist entertainment.

Thank god for stories of manly men. May they live in some form forever.

Funny book with some interesting characters. It's good for people who need a mindless read that has some kick to it.

Short Review: This is Eoin Colfer's first adult book. And it feels a bit like he is trying to make up for having written young adult books for the rest of his career. There is a lot of swearing and violence in this books and some sex. But a lot of the adult content feels like filler more than really necessary to the plot. On the whole though the problem with the book is that the characters do not feel believable. The main guy is good. But why has he spent a decade working as a bouncer as a seedy club. The bad guys are pretty two demential. And in the end the twist made me feel like I had wasted my time with the book. I really like Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, but I think I will stick to his young adult books from now on.
