'Who is Evie? JP Pomare’s taut debut thriller has already been shortlisted for crime writing awards.'

'Alice to Prague and In Love with the World are very different books with contrasting styles and perspectives and different stories to tell. Yet, fundamentally, the theme of the books is the same. Both authors choose to leave a comfortably familiar and orderly life among family and friends, and set off into strange territories to live among people whose backgrounds, experiences and expectations are alien to them. Both set out full of excitement, optimism and hope and both, at times, suffer severe disorientation, panic, doubt and terrible loneliness.'  (Introduction)

'Adrian McKinty has won multiple awards for his crime novels featuring Belfast detective Sean Duffy. With The Chain he moves into new territory, producing a flat-out thriller.' (Introduction)
