'Only Killers and Thieves is a historical novel, but the savagery it depicts is still a matter to be reckoned with in contemporary Australia where the traumas of genocide continue to resonate from generation to generation. This is an impressive debut' -- Tim Winton, author of Cloudstreet
I couldn't put Only Killers and Thieves down. It does what great Westerns do, it drops you inside the ugliness and chaos of Australian frontier life, it educates and horrifies, but also it entertains. Howarth's debut is a powerhouse page turner' -- Willy Vlautin, author of The Free
'Howarth's stunning debut has shades of Cormac McCarthy and Patrick deWitt... a book that grips from the outset and entertains even as it educates us about an appalling part of Australia's history' -- Irish Times

The narrative crackles with dramatic tension and an atmosphere of fear and dread.

'An impressive debut . . . deals unflinchingly with the brutality of Australian rule. But the heart of the story is the complicated relationship between the brothers . . . While this book has a historical point to make, it also works as a suspenseful mystery and a resonant bildungsroman' --Kirkus
'Grips like a dingo and lives long in the memory' -- Crime Thriller Hound
'Brutal and beautiful' -- Shelf Awareness
'A powerful debut. Paul Howarth brings early Australia to life, bloody warts and all, in an epic tale of murder, revenge, and colonial oppression, with very little room for redemption. The story and his words will stay with you long after you have finished the book' -- New York Journal of Books
'Everywhere alive with vivid evocations of a landscape as punishing as it is beautiful and vibrant characters who would be just as at home in Blood Meridian or Butcher's Crossing, Only Killers and Thieves compels and convinces from the start. This is a thrilling book and Paul Howarth a writer of tremendous talent' -- Laird Hunt, author of Neverhome'Powerful debut... the novel feels like a modern Western along the lines of Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses. Howarth's narrative is almost cinematic... U.S. readers will make the connection with our country's oppression of Native Americans and gain an understanding of the fundamental racism of both former British colonies... Howarth is a novelist to watch' -- Library Journal (starred review)
'A quest for frontier justice drives the events of Howarth's devastating and impressive debut, set in the Australian outback in 1885' -- Publishers Weekly
