‘A lean, tight thriller with a steely grip on the attention and a plot as compulsive and propulsive as a Jason Bourne movie.’

Irish Independent.

ALOYSIUS TEMPO

#Fiction

ALOYSIUS TEMPO tells of an unkempt, maverick assassin recruited by a shadowy agency deep within the Irish government. 

His job - to kill four people who threaten to damage society in ways Ireland really, truly doesn’t need.

The Irish Independent says the prose 'has a finesse you don't usually encounter in thrillers.'

"Brilliantly paced and told with all of Tempo’s hard-bitten, wry humour."

CrimeFictionLover.com says there are 'definitely echoes of Derek Raymond’s Factory novels in that there are moments of dark poetry shining through the nihilism. On a purely technical level, it is writing of a very high quality, beautifully observed and full of clear, cold cruelty.'

‘A joy to write this one. I love the assassin genre and wanted to write an atypical thriller about a killer for hire. A little heavy on the style but it worked out well enough. There might be a sequel if I can figure out how to save Aloysius from certain death at the end.’
