About

Winterland is a blistering unputdownable novel about power, lies and the corrupting influence of money. It is the first in a series on the dark and clandestine underside of globalization and announces a compelling new voice in contemporary crime writing.

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 fuelled, 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...

Reviews

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