Will we be seeing any more from any of the characters in Bloodland?
Yes, definitely James Vaughan, who has appeared in both Winterland and Bloodland. I think he has some explaining to do. Or someone has to do it for him. And I suppose that’ll be me.

Winterland
(available in paperback now)
‘A dark edgy thriller packed with genuine suspense and a real sense of danger, diving into a world of crime, corruption and violence that is all too convincing.’ The Times
‘A page turner in the best sense of the word . . . the three set pieces of the story are as good as anything I’ve read in contemporary crime fiction.’ John Boyne, Irish Times
‘An enthralling and addictive read.’ Observer
‘Clever and intense; a dark and powerful slice of Dublin noir. I loved it!’ R. J. Ellory
‘A terrific read . . . completely involving.’ George Pelecanos
‘Timely, topical and thrilling.’ John Connolly
‘A resonant, memorable and uncomfortable read . . . Winterland is a book that speaks to absolutely now.’
Val McDermid
Limitless
(available in paperback now)
Now a major motion picture starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro.
Imagine a drug that made your brain function to its full potential.
A drug that allowed you to pick up a foreign language in a single day.
A drug that helped you process information so fast you could see patterns in the stock market.
Just as his life is fading into mediocrity, Eddie Spinola comes across such a pill: MDT-48 – a sort of Viagra for the brain. But while its benefits materialise quickly, so do certain unwelcome side-effects. And when Eddie decides to track down other users, he soon discovers that they’re all dying, or dead . . .
‘Fast, clever and horrifying.’ Daily Mail
