Winterland - Softcover

Críticas

"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)

"Timely, topical, and thrilling." --John Connolly

"A provocative and richly textured novel." --The Independent (London)

"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

Reseña del editor

The worlds of business, Irish 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. 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.
