Absolute Zero Cool is the latest novel from Declan Burke, one of Irelands most innovative crime fiction writers. A genuinely original take on noir, inventive and funny. (JOHN BANVILLE).
Absolute Zero Cool will be launched in The Gutter Bookshop, Temple Bar, Dublin 2 on Wednesday 10 August by John Connolly, all welcome!
Absolute Zero Cool is a post-modern take on the crime thriller genre. Adrift in the half-life limbo of an unpublished novel, hospital porter Billy needs to up the stakes. Euthanasia simply isnt shocking anymore; would blowing up his hospital be enough to see Billy published, or be damned? What follows is a gripping tale that subverts the crime genres grand tradition of liberal sadism, a novel that both excites and disturbs in equal measure. Absolute Zero Cool is not only an example of Irish crime writing at its best; it is an innovative, self-reflexive piece that turns every convention of crime fiction on its head. Declan Burkes latest book is an imaginative story that explores the human minds ability to both create and destroy, with equally devastating effects.
