David Peace recommends

Red Menace (2024)
(United Kingdom Trilogy, book 2)
Joe Thomas
"One of our very best comtemporary crime writers."

The North Light (2023)
Hideo Yokoyama
"Japan's Master of Mystery and one of the country's most consistently surprising brilliant novelists."

High John the Conqueror (2022)
Tariq Goddard
"A wyrd & eerie tale for wyrd & eerie times, High John the Conqueror is, like High John de Conqueror itself, 'a genuine hybrid and a one-off,' crafting & grafting police noir, folk horror and occult parapolitics into an altered States of the Nation novel of monsters past and present. PD James meets MR James!"

Oxblood (2022)
Tom Benn
"With a brutal yet compassionate honesty, Oxblood confronts the past as it was and how it shapes who we are now, and confirms Tom Benn as one of the most powerful and urgent writers of our times."
