ReviewsPraise for The Good Killer : "Slick and twisty...Mr. Dolan's great gifts for storytelling, well displayed in his four previous books, are in even fuller evidence in The Good Killer , a story somewhat larger in scope, thus allowing for yet more tension, suspense and surprising resolutions." -- Wall Street Journal "[A] satisfying crime novel from Dolan...Both action junkies and readers who like their thrillers on the cerebral side will find something to enjoy."-- Publishers Weekly "A dazzling, cinematic thriller full of vivid characters and adrenaline-charged action. Dolan is writing in the tradition of the great Elmore Leonard, and he does the master proud." --Joseph Finder, New York Times -bestselling author of House on Fire " The Good Killer should be Harry Dolan's break-out novel. Simply (but beautifully) written, it turns into something by turns complex, devious, full of vivid character and unexpected deceits, following as an act of irrational violence opens door after door that certain people don't want opened, laying bare conspiracy and theft, leading inevitably to manhunt and evasion and confrontation. It's terrific." --Stephen Hunter, author of Game of Snipers Praise for Harry Dolan: "Dolan is an inventive, offbeat writer who manages to provide an entertaining mystery and a scary look at psychopaths who do horrific things to people. His David Malone novels deserve the praise they've received."-- Washington Post , on The Last Dead Girl "The Man in the Crooked Hat expertly splinters into several investigations and delivers parallel stories of Jack's quest and Michael's rebuilding of his life. Each plot tendril blissfully leads to the next as Dolan illustrates intelligent plotting. A hint of humor and a flair for the ironic also elevate the story."-- Associated Press , on The Man in the Crooked Hat "Have you ever started a book and just knew it was going to be really, really good? That's what happened with this one. Harry Dolan instantly sets up a creepy vibe as the killer is revealed right up front--or so we're led to believe. Dolan is a fantastic stylist, adding an almost old-fashioned noir feel to a contemporary thriller. Surprising and frequently terrifying, you won't be able to put this one down. This is the first book I've read by Harry Dolan, and it certainly won't be my last." Criminal Element , on The Man in the Crooked Hat "Dolan gets everything right in his debut, a suspense novel that breathes new life into familiar themes... the talent Dolan displays suggests he has a bright future."-- Publishers Weekly , on Bad Things Happen "Harry Dolan's extraordinary debut novel, Bad Things Happen, has so many delightful twists and turns that many readers will, upon finishing it, no doubt start over and re-read it just to see what may have been missed the first time through. Thoroughly entertaining, Bad Things Happen will certainly be included on, if not at the top of, lists of the best mystery novels this year. It's that good."-- Mysterious Review , on Bad Things Happen "The rare crime novel with something for everyone who reads crime fiction." -- Kirkus Review , on Very Bad Men, Praise for The Good Killer : "A dazzling, cinematic thriller full of vivid characters and adrenaline-charged action.

Sean is at a shopping mall when Henry Alan Keen, scorned by a woman he's been dating, pulls out a gun at the store where she works and begins shooting everyone in sight.

But Sean's newfound notoriety exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely in his past. One of them blames Sean for his brother's death. The other wants to recover a treasure that Sean and Molly stole from him.
