'I want to be viewed as one of the best crime writers of my generation. I've written the sort of novel which I, as a reader and lover of the genre, would want to read ... I hope it's a novel that people who might ordinarily shun genre fiction might pick up and enjoy.' John Connolly

John was a journalist working at the Irish Times when the book was written and accepted for publication. He conducted an enormous amount of research in America where the novel is set, making settings, idioms, procedures and characters magnificently authentic.

The title of the book was drawn from Donne's poem A Nocturnall Upon S. Lucies Day, because as Connolly says, it is 'about Salvation and a belief that out of pain and grief people can be reborn.' Every Dead Thing explores more fully than ever before the psychology of a man left behind to pick up the pieces of his life, his guilt and his future.
