Sunday Telegraph "Collins has caught the sheer weirdness of small-town America... the story achieves a rich and unexpected pathos."

A novel of small town intrigue and corruption from the author of The Keepers Of Trugh and The Resurrectionists.

Lost Souls begins with the discovery of the body of a small girl, dressed as an angel, concealed in a pile of autumn leaves. It looks as if the child might have been the victim of a hit and run. It's Halloween. The streets had been full of children. But how did a three-year old come to be hiding there alone in the dark, dressed only in her flimsy costume? And why were the child's feet bare? A ghastly crime, a bungled cover-up, several guilty secrets, innocence defiled, a community isolated, a lowering landscape across which a host of dysfunctional characters stalk, a twisting plot and Michael Collins's uniquely stylish and blackly humorous prose make this latest novel a gripping read. As always the landscape and people are vividly evoked. This novel is full of unforgettable images from its haunting and chillingly beautiful beginning to its brilliant denouement.

Michael Collins was born in Limerick in 1964. He was educated in Ireland and America and currently lives in Seattle.

Fast-paced thriller about New York's underworld and political corruption in the highest ranks.

'Endemic corruption, and the way it holds the fabric of a city together, has never been addressed so sharply. This is tough-guy prose in overdrive, which moves effortlessly from union balls to the morally ambiguous world of Irish racketeers, Italian mobsters and Russian mafia hitmen...a stylish, innovative thriller that shines like a dark sun over the often repetitive landscape of today's crime fiction' Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian Jimmy Dolan is a self-made man. Once a roughneck construction worker, he is now Ivy League educated and working for the New York City mayor. But his fortunes are reversed when he strikes out against a corrupt union boss and is fired. Then his father is muscled out of the race to be president of the Teamsters union by the same man. Filled with mobsters, racketeers and corrupt officials, The Rackets is a visceral portrait of New York's underworld and the power games that bind it together.

Thomas Kelly worked for ten years in construction, graduated from Fordham University and Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, then served as Director of Advance for the mayor of New York. A former Teamster, he writes for Esquire. His first novel, Payback, has been adapted by David Mamet for a feature film. He lives in New York and Dublin.
