A couple from new-to-me, untried Irish author Alan Gorevan ...
Gorevan has written half a dozen or so novels and novellas and I've hoovered up a few more than just these two.
From his website.......
I was born and raised in Dublin. (All the best people are!)
For as long as I can remember, I've loved reading. I've enjoyed making up stories for almost as long.
I decided I wanted to be a thriller writer when I was a teenager, after I stumbled across Lee Child's Killing Floor in an airport bookshop.
The novel had just come out. A sticker on the cover offered a money-back guarantee if the book didn't deliver.
I thought it must be a hell of a read if it came with a guarantee.
It was.
I never thought of asking for money back.
Instead, I thought I'd like to write page-turning thrillers too.

The Kindness of Psychopaths (2020)
The disappearance forces two men on a gruelling search for the truth: Barry Wall, Valentina’s frantic husband, and Joe Byrne, the nihilistic detective in charge of the investigation.
They are locked on a devastating course that will take them to places darker than they ever dreamt – places without limits…
This sounds absolutely fascinating, Col! I really like that idea of what can happen on an online forum - it sounds all too possible. And the other looks interesting, too. I'll be quite keen to know what you think of these.
ReplyDeleteMargot, thanks. I'm as interested as you are to see how I get on with them. Hopes are high, fingers are corssed!
