Anthony J. Quinn’s standalone novels include Blind Arrows (2015), set during Ireland’s War of Independence, The Listeners (2018), and Turncoat (2021).
Blind Arrows draws on the political turmoil of early twentieth-century Ireland, telling a story of espionage and double-dealing in wartime Dublin. The Listeners (2018) takes a different approach, with a plot built around surveillance and paranoia. Turncoat (2021) continues Quinn’s interest in betrayal and moral compromise.
Quinn is better known for his Inspector Celcius Daly crime series set in Northern Ireland, but these standalone novels show his range. Each book stands on its own and can be read in any order. Fans of Irish crime and historical fiction will find all three worth their time.
