Welcome...
"Pull up a chair and stay a while. I write thrillers and poetry. Perfectly compatible genres, in case you wondered. Poetry hones the mind and the skill, as well as providing a respite from the intense commitment I make when I'm in the midst of a thriller.
Please spend some time here at Mystery Writers of America. I'm sure you'll find something to interest you. Do come back often. Thank you!"

“Pat Mullan’s latest, LAST DAYS OF THE TIGER, is a razor blade down the spine. So fast-paced, expect whiplash. This is Irish noir with a hero whom you’ll want at your back in any gunfight. Grab a copy and clear your schedule!” James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of BLACK ORDER.
"A high-powered legal thriller chocked full of betrayal, deceit, corruption, and murder. Mullan is Ireland's answer to John Grisham, with a smattering of Ross MacDonald thrown in. LAST DAYS OF THE TIGER will make your head spin." JA Konrath, author of RUSTY NAIL.
“Pat Mullan is a natural born storyteller with a gripping, engaging style. He may just be the next big thing in Irish crime fiction.” Jason Starr, author of LIGHTS OUT.
“LAST DAYS OF THE TIGER bristles with ingenuity, and a plot to kill for … this is a thriller of such high caliber that it transcends all genres … has all the Irish gifts: dizzy narrative, sly humor, and marvelous readability. It rocks! Ken Bruen, Edgar and Macavity Award winning author of THE GUARDS.
“LAST DAYS OF THE TIGER is a tight, intelligent thriller. Author Pat Mullan blends political intrigue and murder with a unique Irish flavor that goes down smooth. His hero, Ed Burke, is striking – almost an anti-hero in some respects. To unravel the deception and save himself, Burke must test old friendships, and determine who to trust in an Ireland changed by the Celtic Tiger. Mullan writes suspense with an edge reminiscent of Bob Ludlum. An author to watch.” Cerri Ellis, Mostly Mystery Reviews.

Praise for Pat Mullan's CREATURES OF HABIT
"Creatures of Habit, the shimmer of evil"
"There are shades of Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, and even Tom Clancy in Creatures of Habit, Pat Mullan's powerful new novel. Set mainly in 'Celtic Tiger' Ireland, the punning title displays the shimmer of evil that the novel's hero, the all-too-human Ed Burke, senses throughout. Pederasty, madness, and murder abide in this complex and fascinating story; a story stolen by humanity's seemingly bottomless capacity for corruption. Ed Burke is just the man to smoke it out.
This is certainly one of the most exciting, and powerful, thrillers I've ever read; the complex art of the thinker's mystery. Great stuff!" E. M. Schorb
E.M.Schorb, award winning author and poet: winner of The Frankfurt Grand Prize in fiction for his novel, Paradise Square; 1973 International Keats Poetry Prize; Verna Emery Poetry Prize for Murderer's Day, his fourth collection of poetry (Purdue University Press). E. M. Schorb's new novel, Fortune Island, is slated for publication in May/June 2009.
