==Writing career==
McKinty has written sixteen books ten of which form two trilogies and a quartet.〔http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/m/adrian-mckinty/〕 He is primarily known as a writer of genre fiction: crime and mystery novels and young adult fiction. McKinty writes in a stylised prose manner with echoes of James Ellroy, and Elmore Leonard. ''Publishers Weekly'' has called him "one of his generation's leading talents"〔http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Yard-Novel-Adrian-McKinty/dp/0743499484〕 and Patrick Anderson of the ''Washington Post'' has praised McKinty as a leading light in the ''new wave'' of Irish crime novelists whose most celebrated members are Ken Bruen, Declan Hughes and John Connolly.〔http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2007/03/25/AR2007032501066.html〕 McKinty has been criticised for the explicit use of violence in his novels,〔http://www.eurocrime.co.uk/reviews/Dead_I_Well_May_Be.html〕 however John O'Connor reviewing McKinty's "Fifty Grand" in ''The Guardian''〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/aug/08/fifty-grand-adrian-mckinty-review〕 called him a "master of modern noir, up there with the likes of Dennis Lehane." McKinty uses the classic noir tropes of revenge and betrayal to explore his characters' existential quest for meaning in an often bleak but lyrically intense universe.〔http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Thriller-Cannibals-Captured-Popular/dp/0345481232#reader_0345481232〕 Steve Dougherty writing in ''The Wall Street Journal'' praised McKinty's use of irony and humour as a counterpart to the violent world inhabited by McKinty's Sean Duffy character.〔http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324787004578495491457516764.html?mod=wsj_streaming_stream〕
