Very Good Well Read

Summary

The worlds of business, politics and crime collide 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 then a family member, Gina Rafferty, starts asking questions.

Winterland Summary

Winterland by Alan Glynn

Winterland Reviews

"A terrific read...completely involving." --George Pelecanos"Glynn has conjured the unreal, transfigured character of Ireland's capital....It's a portrait not too far off the real place, but exaggerated enough to make this an enthralling and addictive read." --"The Guardian "(London)"A provocative and richly textured novel." --"The Independent "(London)"Timely, topical, and thrilling." --John Connolly ""Winterland" sets a dramatically high benchmark for emerald noir. With all the operatic inevitability of Greek tragedy, it anatomises what greed has done to Ireland. A resonant, memorable and uncomfortable read." --Val McDermid "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
