Praise for Sacrifice Fly

"Tim O'Mara's Sacrifice Fly is superb — one of those rare first novels that delivers on every level. Raymond Donne is an unforgettable character, and O'Mara will make you feel the steam coming off the Brooklyn streets where Donne works, lives, and tries to stay alive long enough to do the right thing. I can't wait to read O'Mara's next book — this newcomer is one to watch.”
--Jan Burke, national bestselling author of Disturbance

"Tim O'Mara's Sacrifice Fly is the best first crime novel I've read in years. Knowing about the ways of city life and compassionate about its flawed characters, the writing has a swing as natural and strong as Roberto Clemente's. It's a real gem."
-- Peter Blauner, author of Slow Motion Riot and Slipping Into Darkness
