Greed: A Detective John Lynch Thriller
"Immediately gripping and immensely compelling, Dan O'Shea's debut novel moves from gritty Chicago streets to the corridors of power with the sure-footedness of a master storyteller. PENANCE is many things  -  a thriller, a spy story, a complex tale of betrayal and atonement  -  but it is always a heart-pounding ride that leaves you breathless, and yet allows for unforgettable moments of grace. A must-read." - Hilary Davidson, author of Evil in All its Disguises  "Wonder how Harry Bosch would read walking the streets of Michael Mann's Chicago? Look no further than Detective John Lynch. Smart, sophisticated and as serious as a .45 in full battery, Penance makes the bulk of cliche-riddled crime fiction sound flat-footed by comparison." - Peter Farris, author of Last Call for the Living  "Penance is a rich, gritty, terrific novel. O'Shea can throw a punch and turn a phrase with the very best of them. Even better, he knows the human heart inside out." - Lou Berney, author of Gutshot Straight and Whiplash River.
