Winterland
Alan Glynn
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 then a family member, Gina Rafferty, starts asking questions.
Devastated by her loss, Gina’s grief is tempered, and increasingly fuelled, by anger. The more she hears 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, she becomes more determined than ever to establish a connection between the two deaths - and in doing so she embarks on a path that will push certain powerful people to their limits.
‘Both a crime novel and a portrait of contemporary Ireland caught at a moment of profound change ... Timely, topical, and thrilling, this is Ireland as it truly is.’ John Connolly
