The Point (2011)
(Point, book 1)
Gerard Brennan
"The real deal."
thumb
The Defence (2015)
(Eddie Flynn, book 1)
Steve Cavanagh
"Like Mickey Haller and Mitch McDeere before him, readers will love lawyer Eddie Flynn, the star of this high-octane, hugely entertaining legal thriller. On the evidence of this blistering debut, we'll be hearing much more of Steve Cavanagh."
thumb
Black Water (2018)
Cormac O'Keeffe
"Shocking and compulsive, Black Water offers a grittily realistic insight into the causes and consequences of inner-city drug crime – think The Wire set in Dublin."
thumb
Her Name Was Rose (2018)
Claire Allan
"Claire Allan’s transition into crime writing is seamless. Her Name was Rose brings all the emotional heft and depth of characterisation her readers would expect, but with a taut, menacing plot line. A compulsively thrilling read from start to finish."
thumb
Down the Broken Road (2018)
(Rachel Carver Mystery, book 2)
J R Backlund
"A vibrant new voice in crime writing and one to watch."
thumb
The Art of Death (2021)
David Fennell
"Chilling, unsettling and wonderfully atmospheric, it grips from first page to last. I hope we'll be hearing much more from Fennell and his brilliant detective, Grace Archer."
thumb
Truly, Darkly, Deeply (2022)
Victoria Selman
"Gripping from the opening page, it ratchets up the tension while constantly forcing the reader to question what they think they know. A compulsive and hugely satisfying read."
