An Irish Solution

Proof copy. 8vo. Pp. [viii], 307. Pictorial wraps, with cover photograph by Ken Walsh.

Author's debut crime novel, and the first work of fiction to be published by the Penguin Ireland imprint. Seamus Joyce has just been appointed Acting Director of the Irish Drug Enforcement Agency. Soon he begins to suspect that his political masters are bending the rules in the quest for high-profile drug convictions – and that he still doesn't entirely understand what the rules are.

"An Irish Solution points a way forward for Irish crime fiction, and demonstrates how Irish-style corruption can provide fuel for the form. Millar could do for Ireland what Dibdin has done for Italy." –Sunday Times
