'WINTERLAND sets a dramatically high benchmark for emerald noir ... A
resonant, memorable and uncomfortable read.' Val McDermid --Val McDermid'A terrific read ... completely involving.' George Pelecanos --George Pelecanos'A dark and powerful slice of Dublin noir. I loved it!' R.J. Ellory --R.J. Ellory‘Both a crime novel and a portrait of contemporary Ireland caught at a moment of profound change . . . Timely, topical, and thrilling, this is Ireland as it truly is.’ - John Connolly “This is the colossus of Irish crime fiction. What MYSTIC RIVER did for Dennis Lehane, WINTERLAND should do for Alan Glynn. It is a noir masterpiece, the bar against which all future works will be judged.” – Ken Bruen
Book Description
Can one woman uncover the truth...? The dark, gripping thriller set in
the Dublin underworld of hitmen, big business and government
corruption.
The worlds of business, politics and crime collide in contemporary
Dublin when two men with the same name, from the same family, die on the
same night - one death is a gangland murder, the other, apparently, a
road accident. Was it a coincidence? That's the official version of
events. But when a family member, Gina Rafferty, starts asking
questions, this notion quickly unravels. Devastated by her loss, Gina's
grief is tempered, and increasingly fuelled, by anger - because the more
she hears that it was all a coincidence, that gangland violence is
commonplace, that people die on our roads every day of the week, the
less she's prepared to accept it. Told repeatedly that she should stop
asking questions, Gina becomes more determined than ever to find out the
truth, to establish a connection between the two deaths - but in doing
so she embarks on a path that will push certain powerful people to their
limits... Views: 24
