Publisher's Summary
Michael has survived his infiltration of an IRA splinter cell in Boston, and now, his many near fatal wounds healed, he begins his next adventure as manager of hotel security in Lima, Peru. It is there that he is contacted by Bridget, whose fiancé he killed.
Bridget, calling from Dublin, says that her 11-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. Michael's choice is to fly to Dublin and help her find the girl, or be executed at the hands of Bridget's goons, who are holding him at gunpoint. He agrees to nothing, but is soon on the way to Dublin, leaving the first two of many dead bodies in his wake.
Critic Reviews
"[H]is most visceral, satisfying effort yet....McKinty writes masterful action scenes, and he whips up a frenzy as the bullets begin to fly." (Publishers Weekly)
"[O]utpaces its immediate predecessor, The Dead Yard...with [McKinty's] trademark dark lyricism, one great red herring, and a masterful plot twist that brings Forsythe's character full circle in a lightning flash." (Booklist)

Bruce!
I was entertained throughout the series and my rating is a review of it entirety, not of Bloomsday alone.

classic action thriller
Entertaining, lively action thriller centred around Irish recent battlegrounds with strong sense of place (and humour)

In Which Everyone is Trying to Kill Michael
A day with Leopold Bloom this is not. How many people can Michael Forsyth kill in one day? An awful lot as it turns out. And the eternal soliloquies! I wanted someone to shoot Michael just to put an end to them. A good story, but needed a hard edit. The narrator, as ever, is a dream to listen to, and kept me going to the blessed end.

Can’t get enough of Michael Forsyth.
Another cracking book in the series. It’s also a guilty pleasure because I guess you shouldn’t like a charming psychopath but there’s something strangely moral and poetic about him as he goes on his rescue journey through Belfast. It also has the perfect narrator who really brings it to life.

Never misses a heart stopping beat!
By now anyone who’s heard Gerard Doyle narrate knows he could win an Oscar for reading a phone book. So of course he was yet again masterful in reading McKintys ripping 3rd Forsythe saga.
It’s impossible not to see this as a fast paced lavish BBC series. And what leading male star wouldn’t want to get their paws on this epically loveable and complex role!!!

Excellent storytelling
Loved this third and final book in the series written by a master of storytelling ... Appreciated the Ulysses references and the end of the book was a nice echo and homage to James Joyce without getting pretentious or cumbersome... Strap yourselves in for a wild ride mostly set in Belfast, which I have not been to.... but Adrian McKinty's descriptions were so colourful and aromatic I could see and smell the place as I walked through it with Gerard Doyle's wonderful narration. It was a perfect story and a most enjoyable listen

Great series. Binged 1-3! Narration does the stories justice and is very entertaining.
The hero manages way too many narrow and seemingly impossible escapes from certain death from book 1-3 and he certainly deserves his retirement! Some gruesome scenes so graphic they marred the hero’s ‘likable character’.

Didn't want it to end..
This series would be one of the best stories I've listened to - and really enjoyed the way the three of them came together so well. Wouldn't matter if you hadn't listened to the other two, but so much richer if you do!
