From the New York Times–bestselling author: "Outrageous characters, uproariously funny plot twists, and brutal, nonstop action . . . a sure-fire winner." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Daniel McEvoy has a problem. Well, really, he has several, but for this Irish ex-pat bouncer at a seedy, small-time casino, the fact that his girlfriend was just murdered in the parking lot is uppermost in his mind. That is until lots of people around him start dying, and not of natural causes. Suddenly Daniel''s got half the New Jersey mob, dirty cops, and his man-crazy upstairs neighbor after him and he still doesn''t know what''s going on . . . "A brilliant madcap mystery." —Ridley Pearson " Plugged is that rare book that mixes terrific suspense with laugh-out-loud humor." —Associated Press "Compared with that criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl, Dan McEvoy is a bungling idiot. But that''s essentially the appeal of Eoin Colfer''s first adult protagonist . . . Lots of bloody fun." — The New York Times Book Review "Perfect noir . . . terrific." —Harlan Coben
