Patrick Callen is a bike-riding hitman with mild OCD trying to save his crumbling relationship with his live-in girlfriend while racing through Dublin to save his kidnapped mentor from execution. The ransom: ticking off a to-do list of murders that will make Patrick a target of the police, the mob, and his closest friends...and doom his romance...if it doesn't get him killed first. Praise for The Lemon Man "A fast-paced crime novel that is both hilarious & hardboiled, its main character both ruthless and oddly sympathetic." ABC News "Sparkling prose, a well-realized setting, and appealing characters make this offbeat crime novel a winner. Bruton is definitely an author to watch." Publishers Weekly "Keith Bruton's passion for his hometown of Dublin and for crime fiction shines like a beacon in his glorious debut novel. His quiet, domestic set pieces are as rewarding, and as exciting in some ways, as his riveting action scenes." Mystery Scene Magazine

TASKS:1. Buy Food. 2. Visit Ma. 3. Kill Henry O'NeilThe Lemon Man is Patrick Callen, a bicycle-riding hitman with mild O.C.D. in Dublin, Ireland whose carefully ordered life is totally upended when he becomes the accidental caretaker of a baby boy. Now he's got to balance his daily to-do list of errands and murders-for-hire with his unexpected domesticity, which impacts him and his work in ways he never expected...and that could get him killed."What fun. Bruton's darkly funny Irish noir sparkles. If a hitman and a baby aren't the best pitch in ages, then I don't know what is." Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author"Distinctive and captivating, The Lemon Man's unique blend of action, humor, and intrigue make it a book you won't want to miss." Andrew Grant (aka Andrew Child), New York Times bestselling co-author of the Reacher series."A fine crime novel: at one moment offbeat, with a darkly funny Irish lilt, and the next moment hard and uncompromising." Garry Disher, three time Ned Kelly Award winning author of the Wyatt series."A fast-paced and gripping crime novel with a cynical and humorous perspective on modern day Dublin... and an oddly sympathetic but disturbing protagonist, a hired assassin, who turns out to be a living, breathing, shopping, cycling psychopath, a male Villanelle (Killing Eve)." Anthony J. Quinn, author of the Inspector Celcius Daly series."Featuring a hitman with heart - not to mention a bike, a man bun, and a baby he found on the job - The Lemon Man is wildly entertaining. With its cast of eccentric characters, richly-drawn Dublin setting, and breakneck pacing, this is a novel you won't soon forget." Tessa Wegert, author of Dead Wind.
