Praise for Michael Duffy

'Duffy is indisputably a writer to watch. He will soon be ranked alongside the likes of international behemoths Michael Connelly, George Pelecanos and Don Winslow. There is no higher praise.' —Sun-Herald

'A gripping, fast-paced debut that introduces Michael Duffy's simple, true and confident voice to an army of crime lovers. Sure to be a hit with fans of Underbelly and Michael Connelly, The Tower unites classic noir suspense with seat of the pants action set against the glimmer and grime of the harbour city, where the sharks are beginning to circle.' —Sydney Unleashed.com

'This is crime reporter Michael Duffy's first novel but it's well-informed by his real-life experiences of a more sinister underworld beneath Sydney's bright surface.' —M2
