I'm an Irish novelist currently living in St Kilda, Australia
"Hardboiled charm, evocative dialogue, an acute sense of place and a sardonic sense of humour make McKinty one to watch."
---The Guardian
A couple more books, a few birthdays, some shuffleboard then a period spent in the digestive tract of earthworms, followed by molecular breakdown, the sun boiling into space, the heat death of the universe, atomic decay, perpetual darkness, a trillion years of nothingness and then, if we're lucky, brane collapse, a new singularity and a new Big Bang.

More about me
I was born and grew up in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. After studying philosophy at Oxford University I emigrated to New York City where I lived in Harlem for seven years working in bars, bookstores, building sites and finally the basement stacks of the Columbia University Medical School Library in Washington Heights.
In 2000 I moved to Denver, Colorado where I taught high school English and started writing fiction in earnest. My first full length novel Dead I Well May Be was shortlisted for the 2004 Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award and was picked by Booklist as one of the 10 best crime novels of the year. The sequel to that book The Dead Yard was selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the 12 best novels of 2006 and won the Audie Award for best mystery or thriller.
In mid 2008 I moved to St. Kilda, Melbourne, Australia with my wife and kids. My last book Falling Glass was Audible's Best Mystery or Thriller for 2011. I've just published a new novel for Serpents Tail called The Cold Cold Ground.

WORK IN PROGRESS:
All Hail McKinty!
"If Raymond Chandler had grown up in Northern Ireland he would have written The Cold Cold Ground."
---The Times
"Hardboiled charm, evocative dialogue, an acute sense of place and a sardonic sense of humour make McKinty one to watch."
---The Guardian
"A literary thriller that is as concerned with exploring the poisonously claustrophobic demi-monde of Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and the self-sabotaging contradictions of its place and time, as it is with providing the genre’s conventional thrills and spills. The result is a masterpiece of Troubles crime fiction: had David Peace, Eoin McNamee and Brian Moore sat down to brew up the great Troubles novel, they would have been very pleased indeed to have written The Cold Cold Ground."
---The Irish Times
"McKinty is a big new talent."
---The Daily Telegraph
"McKinty is a gifted man with poetry coursing through his veins and thrilling writing dripping from his fingertips."
---The Sunday Independent
"McKinty is a big new talent."
---The Daily Telegraph
"McKinty is a gifted man with poetry coursing through his veins and thrilling writing dripping from his fingertips."
---The Sunday Independent
"Adrian McKinty is fast gaining a reputation as the finest of the new generation of Irish crime writers, and it's easy to see why on the evidence of The Cold Cold Ground."
---The Glasgow Herald
"McKinty is a storyteller with the kind of style and panache that blur the line between genre and mainstream."
---Kirkus Reviews
"McKinty's literate expertly crafted crime novel confirms his place as one of his generation's leading talents."
---Publishers Weekly
"McKinty crackles with raw talent. His dialogue is superb, his characters rich and his plotting tight and seemless. He writes with a wonderful and wonderfully humorous flair for language raising his work above most crime genre offerings and bumping it right up against literature."
---The San Francisco Chronicle
"McKinty keeps getting better. He melds the snap and crackle of the old Mickey Spillane tales with the literary skills of Raymond Chandler and sets it all down in his own artful way."
---The Rocky Mountain News
"The first of McKinty's Forsythe novels, "Dead I Well May Be," was intense, focused and entirely brilliant. This one is looser-limbed, funnier...so, I imagine, is the middle book, "The Dead Yard," which I haven't read but which Publishers Weekly included on its list of the 12 best novels of 2006, along with works by Peter Abrahams, Richard Ford, Cormac McCarthy and George Pelecanos."
---The Washington Post
"McKinty, who grew up in Northern Ireland, has an ear for language and a taste for violence, and he serves up a terrifically gory, swiftly paced thriller."
---The Miami Herald
"There's nothing like an Irish tough guy. And we're not talking about Gentleman Gerry Cooney here. No, we mean the new breed of bare-knuckle Irish writers like Adrian McKinty, Ken Bruen and John Connolly who are bringing fresh life to the crime fiction genre."
---The Philadelphia Inquirer
"McKinty's writing is dark and witty with gritty realism, spot on dialogue, and fascinating characters."
---The Chicago Sun-Times
"If you like your noir staples such as beautiful women, betrayal, murder, mixed with a heavy dose of blood, crunched bones, body parts flying around served up with some throwaway humour, you need look no further, McKinty delivers all of this with the added bonus that the writing is pitch perfect."
---The Barcelona Review
"I really enjoyed [Dead I Well May Be’s] combination of toughness and a striking literary style. Both those things are evident in Hidden River. McKinty is going places."
---The Observer
"This is a terrific read. McKinty gives us a strong non stop story with attractive characters and fine writing."
---The Morning Star
"[McKinty] draws us close and relates a fantastic tale of murder and revenge in low, wry tones, as if from the next barstool...he drops out of conversational mode to throw in a few breathtaking fever-dream sequences for flavor. And then he springs an ending so right and satisfying it leaves us numb with delight and ready to pop for another round. Start the cliche machine: This is a profoundly satisfying book from a major new talent and one of the best crime fiction debuts of the year."
---Booklist
"The story is soaked in the holy trinity of the noir thriller: betrayal, money and murder, but seen through with a panache and political awareness that give McKinty a keen edge over his rivals."
---The Big Issue
"A darkly humorous cross between a hard-boiled mystery and a Beat novel."
---The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"A roller coaster of highs and lows, light humour and dark deeds, the powerful undercurrent of McKinty's talent will swiftly drag you away. Let's hope the author does not slow down anytime soon."
---The Irish Examiner
"A virtual carnival of slaughter."
---The Wall Street Journal
"McKinty has once again harnassed the power of poetry, violence, lust and revenge to forge a sequel to his acclaimed Dead I Well May Be."
---The Irish Post
"A pacey, violent caper in which McKinty vividly portrays [Belfast's] sleazy, still-menacing underbelly."
---The Sunday Times
"McKinty writes with the soul of a poet; his prose dances off the pages with Old World grace and haunting intensity. It's crime fiction on the level of Michael Connolly with the conviction of James Hall."
---The Jackson Clarion-Ledger
"The Bloomsday Dead is the explosive final installment in a trilogy of kinetic thrillers."
---The New York Times
"Adrian McKinty has garnered nothing but praise for his first two books. The third in the trilogy The Bloomsday Dead should leave no doubt that he is a true star. Fast moving and highly engaging this is a great book. McKinty just gets better and better."
---CrimeSpree
"Until The Dead Yard's relentless, poignant ending you'll turn these pages as quickly as you can."
---The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"McKinty's Dead Trilogy has been praised by critics, who call it "intense," "masterful" and "loaded with action." If your reading pleasure leans toward thrillers offering suspense, close calls, wry wit, sharp dialogue, local color and sudden mayhem, you wont do better."
---The Sacramento Bee
"Le Fleuve caché d'Adrian McKinty impressionne par la richesse et la diversité de son ton et de son écriture, passant avec aisance du lyrisme ample de la nostalgie de l'amour perdu au rythme saccadé du narrateur sous l'emprise de l'héroïne. Ce livre rare et maîtrisé est une réussite bien digne de la Série noire."
---Le Figaro
Eine eigentlich simple Story, die natürlich bereits als Grundlage für Hunderte Bücher und Filme diente, macht Adrian McKinty zu der mitreißenden Odyssee eines jungen Mannes, der in der Lage ist, sich seiner Umwelt anzupassen wie jene Kakerlaken, die er in seinem Harlemer Appartement jagt, studiert und sowohl angewidert awie anerkennend entkommen lässt. Nicht umsonst 1992 angesiedelt, ist Der sichere Tod der kongeniale Kommentar zum Wesen der Neunziger.

Looking forward to it. Will it be published in print in the US?
Speedskater
At this stage its the UK, Ireland, France and Germany but NOT America.
It will, as usual, be out in audio in the US.
It may be too nuanced, witty and brilliant for American publishers who generally prefer their Irish novels to be sentimental, simplistic and shite, but we'll see.
Super excited for this! As a life long American I apologize for our short sightedness in this matter.
Dan
Well I'm an American too now so I can only hope that the nation comes to its senses.
It wont be last time though, where I sent out Falling Glass to a bunch of cowardly weasels who told me the book was "too Irish." This time I'm not going to send it out to anyone. If someone wants to publish it they can go to Serpents Tail and beg them for the rights and if I like the cut of their jib I will approve.
Big Congrats. I was able to get Falling Glass easy enough from the Book Repository when it came out. Will be getting CCG as soon as it comes out the same way, hopefully. Can't wait!
Sean
The fact that it's a trade paperback and with a strong dollar and free shipping on Book Depository it means that its actually cheaper to get than a US first edition hardback.
The lead character is called Sean by the way.
Long time listener, first time caller.
Nice title. Was it inspired by the Tom Waits tune of the same name?
Greg
A verse of the Tom Waits song is the epigraph to the book.
I went through a fair amount of trials and tribulations to get Mr Waits's permission to use the lyric. Famously he's not that keen for his songs to be used in other media (especially adverts) but I was happy that he allowed me to use the song here because the book would have incomplete without it.
Looking forward to it. I would hope that Serpent's Tail or you or whoever has the rights to do so will make FG and this one available as e-books at some point.
As an epublisher I may be biased but it seems like the easiest (and sometimes cheapest) way to reach across the ocean.
Brian
I hope so too although it might be a legal thing that when you sell the N American rights you have to include the paper and e book publishing concessions. I dont know.
I will say that if no N American publisher steps up for this book then they will really be missing a trick.
Also available for pre-order in Canada on Amazon.ca
Matt
I think Australia and New Zealand as well. Everywhere really except the US which is bizarre.
It's a tight, weird, atmospheric, totally badass novel though so I think it will be published in the US eventually. Although like I say I wont be doing the asking this time.
here's the Tom Waits song for anyone who hasn't heard it.
cold cold ground
This is great news.
And that's an excellent cover, by the way.
Congrats, really looking forward to this one.
I hope readers in my benighted land will get this book in whatever form.
I have been sipping cautiously from the e-book Kool-Aid for various reasons. I hope you'll consider that road if the situation calls for it.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm now a few chapters into Deviant and starting to like it. Although, I'll admit, I'm not sure about my son reading it after that first chapter.
John
Yeah it was nice work on cover I thought. A scene from the book of course.
Peter
Well it wont be my decision, it'll be Serpents Tail's but I hope they manage to find a US partner in some form.
Glenna
Definitely for older teens, although to he honest I'm still not sure I got the tone quite right with that book. It may just be too dark, too complicated and too weird for a YA.
I've read a couple of things about this book. I am REALLY looking forward to this one.
I figured that, but I meant for future books. I know a hell of a lot less about publishing than a lot of people do, and I am by no means an optimist by temperament, but I have heard and read some interesting things about e-books recently, some of which I think could help me as well as deserving authors.

Don't believe everything you read on an Amazon description...however I do think you'll like The Cold Cold Ground.
I like it anyway.
I got a chance at a preview of this one, and though Adrian may have changed it all and wrecked it, in early form it was quite wonderful. I would put it up there with maybe Dead I Well May Be at the top.
So put your name on Book depository and preorder it as soon as you can or somewhere as soon as you can.
Peter
I just wonder if people really focus as intently when they're reading an e book. I dont care if they're not focusing when they're reading a novelist who churns out 4 books a year and what matters isn't the text itself but the page turning plot and the conclusion. But I want them to focus when they're reading my books. It takes me a year to write a novel and I put a lot of thought into atmosphere, words, characters and the truth of the story. When you're sitting in a chair or the bath, holding a solid book in your hands, there's no music on and your're paying attention, well then I'm happy with you as a reader.
Seana
Thank you for that. And although I'm sometimes a poor judge of my own stuff I have to say that I'm fond of this one.
I'll read it again when it's out. Or maybe listen to it on Audible.
Don't alienate the ebook readers!If you saw some of the situations I read in, you would be horrified.
I read an article recently (probably something you or Seana posted) about the forced linearity of reading e-books, the difficulty and extreme impracticality of wandering through the book, of “flipping” back to a passage one has previously read, and so on. How this affects a reader’s concentration, I don’t know, One can certainly read a slowly as one wants to, as with an e-book. I wonder if that forced linearity makes for faster reading.

Seana, Peter,
Well I dont know. I've never even held an e reader. I certainly wont be getting one until at the very least it can take a dunking in the bath and come out unscathed.
"Up there with Dead I Well May Be"
...yummy.
I believe that was my link, Peter. There's also a guy on Slate whohas a good article up about not buying books for a year and trying out some ebook formats in the process. It is here.
It isn't as much about ereading as it purports, though
Anonymous, there's no Michael Forsythe in it, so don't get the wrong idea.
Adrian, that's precisely what I said about e-readers, I bought one when, at just about the same time, Roger Smith's new novel and Tim Hallinan's Japan collection were made available to me at the same time as e-books only.
I met Tim at Bouchercon, by the way. A pleasant fellow, he is.
Anon,
Seana's right. This is is a cop book not a robber book.
Peter
I'm not sure if I've met Tim in person or not. It's possible that we did an event together along the way.
You said somewhere that you hated Falling Glass after you finished it. Do you still think so? I loved it and I'm looking forward to the new one. Is it the first in a possible series or stand-alone?
Simon
I didnt hate the book but Jesus I was sick of reading it after the whole editing process. I imagine that in five or six years I'll be able to read or more likely listen to it and give it an honest appraisal.
The Cold Cold Ground will be a trilogy. One or two characters from some of the other books may make the odd cameo appearance but basically this is the story of a new character and his adventures.
Adrian, good to know. I'll let the 17 year old read it but not the 13 year old. Goodness knows the 17 year old needs exposure to good writing.
I'm also glad to hear Cold Cold Ground will be the start of a trilogy.
And Adrian, it's a great scene to pick, it gets across the main feeling of the book. For a story that's mostly very urban the cover designer did a great job.
I'll wait until the book is officially published before I start the campaign for more Sean Duffy books.
I'm looking forward to this. And points for the Tom Waits title!
Sweet Jesus! I still haven't gotten my hands (or ears) on Falling Glass yet, and here I see you've got another soon-to-be-classic coming out?
Damn those US publishers.
Unless of course they want to pub something I've written.
-Brian O
Adrian,
Great news about Cold Cold Ground. And a trilogy as well. Can hardly wait to get it. I'm in the US and ordered FG from Serpents Tail (I think). Will Cold Cold Groung be available through them direct as well?
Thx.
Glenna
I hate saying it WILL be a trilogy because that seems to be tempting fate or the jinx or something. Books 2 and 3 arent completely written yet. But anyway thats the plan. I think I have a pretty good idea for book 3 and I've sketched out most of book 2.
John
Yeah, the woods. I used to camping here so I know it pretty well. Its one of those areas that seem a million miles away from civilization but in fact the city is just over the hill.
Roy
It cost me more than points to use that Tom Waits song I can tell you.
It cost me a lot of pleading and some ready cash.
Brian
Suck it up. Order it from Amazon uk. It'll be there next week and I guarantee you wont be disappointed.
DJD
Brilliant question. Alas I dont have an answer. I know Amazon.co.uk and Book Depository will sell it...but ST themselves? If they've done it in the past then I guess they'll do it again but I'm not 100 percent sure. Sorry.
Not sure if anyone's still reading way down here but I just watched the Breaking Bad season finale and if you're looking for good TV then this is it. Try and catch the repeat if you can.
I'll find it on Book Depository.
Thx.
I read today that it was good, but I had something come up last night so I missed it. Luckily I have On Demand so it should show up there pretty soon. I hope I don't learn too much beforehand.
I'm glad it was good. Frankly, I was about to write it off.
Seana
Me too. The season was mediocre but the most important thing is a good ending and this is a good ending.
Looking forward to it, even though the one adjective I did read was 'gruesome'.
I'd go along with that.
I was afraid of that. Yikes.Gruesome is not really my draw.
"Too Irish"? Now that just got me and all of my Irish ancestors angry!
What a ridiculous thing to say. What about books about Scandinavia? Do publishers say, "Too Nordic"? "Too Swedish"? "Too Norwegian"?
By the way, the cover is striking! It will stand out among other books, definitely.
Do you like it?
Oops, meant to write "book depository". Glad you spelled Sean the correct way!
BTW- Did you hear Shane Warne and Liz Hurley are engaged. The news even made it to my local paper. Some damn fine looking kids, if they go that route.
YES!
Excited doesn’t begin to express how I feel about a new McKinty book to read, I need a fix bad, but I’m so pissed that the US market didn’t pick it up.
Do you know when it’ll be available on audible.com?
Yes yes! When will it be available on Audible?
Kathy
You're preaching to the choir here. It makes me mental when I hear stuff like that.
Sean
And they live just down the road from me. Literally about a mile away in Brighton, VIC. My mate Michael saw Warnie coming out of a neighbours house a couple of years ago. An attractive widow. I'm sure there was an innocent explanation.
Holden
I was talking to Ger Doyle on Skype last week and he thinks it should be out January 1st. He's a lot happier with this one because there's fewer difficult words to pronounce. Last time he had to go through hell and high water to figure out how to read all the Shelta expressions in Falling Glass.
Erin
I'm thinking the first week of January 2012.
Gerard Doyle is becoming the voice of McKinty, isn't he? Soon, you'll show up for a reading and they'll think you're an imposter.
I can't read your Breaking Bad breakdown till I've seen the show, but with any luck that may be tonight.
Seana
Its a spoiler free review.
Okay--I'll read it tonight if the show still isn't up. But I think it is.
