Description

"Timely, relevant, and thrilling."-- Steve Connolly "A good read,totally involving."-- George Pelecanos "WINTERLAND sets a significantly high benchmark for ruby noir. With the inevitability of Greek tragedy, it anatomises what greed has been doing to Ireland. A resounding, unforgettable and unpleasant read."-- Val McDermid "This is actually the colossus of Irish crime fiction, what Mystic Water did for Dennis Lehane, WINTERLAND must do for Alan Glynn, it's a noir masterpiece, the club against which all future works is likely to be judged."-- Ken BruenWinterland is just an extreme unputdownable book about power, lies and the corrupting effect of money. It's the very first in a set on the dim and covert bottom of globalization and declares a powerful new voice in modern crime writing.The realms of business, politics and crime collide when two guys with the same title, in the same household, expire on the same night—one demise is just a gangland killing, another, evidently, a street incident.
