"Colman Conroy's Seamus Shea will take you on a tour of a San Francisco that is not yet quite forgotten and still intermingles within what San Francisco is and is becoming. As Seamus seeks to uncover a mystery that threatens a close friend, he must also find and open his own broken heart. No Special Hurry unfolds in the type of hurry that keeps a reader locked in place with the book open. It features heroes and villains aplenty, some of whom seem somehow familiar yet are their own unique and timely representations of good and evil."-JOHN KRALIK, author of A Simple Act of Gratitude and Three Bodies by the River

"No Special Hurry stars Seamus the Shamus as he tries to free his jailed friend for a murder he, presumedly, did not commit. The former columnist has been warned to 'Let It Be' and not get involved in the investigation while he battles alcoholism, guilt, and grief from a death in the family, along with various beatings and altercations. Colman Conroy takes the reader on a ride around San Francisco using his creative and descriptive prose, allowing the reader to almost solve the case. This action-thriller is beautifully crafted storytelling that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat and unable to lay the book down. A solid offering from this author, with hopes of more to come." -BILL SHEEHAN, author of A Tail Among Tales
