Description
A "timely, topical, and thrilling" crime novel about a woman sleuthing to find her family's murderer, from the author of the book that inspired Limitless (John Connolly, New York Times-bestselling author).
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 when a family member, Gina Rafferty, starts asking questions, this notion quickly unravels.
Devastated by her loss, Gina's grief is tempered, and increasingly fueled, by anger -- because the more she's told 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...
"A terrific read... completely involving." -- George Pelecanos, national bestselling author
"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, international bestselling author
"What Mystic River did for Dennis Lehane, Winterland should do for Alan Glynn, it is a noir masterpiece." -- Ken Bruen
"Glynn has conjured the unreal, transfigured character of Ireland's capital... an enthralling and addictive read." -- The Guardian (London)
