"A terrific read… completely involving." George Pelecanos

In the vein of films such as Michael Clayton and Syriana, Winterland is a fast-paced, literary thriller set in contemporary Dublin. 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…

Imagine a drug that makes your brain function in a fantastically efficient way, tapping in to your fundamental resources of intelligence and drive. Imagine a drug that could make you read and remember entire books in a matter of hours, or learn a foreign language in a day. Imagine a drug that could make you process information so fast you can see the patterns on the stock market. Eddie Spinola is on such a drug. It's a pill called MDT-48. It's a Viagra for the brain, a designer drug that's redesigning his life. Eddie's not the only one doing MDT, but with his dealer shot dead and Eddie escaping with a large stash, he's the only one with a supply. And while the drug is helping Eddie make the sort of money he's only dreamed about, he's also beginning to suffer its side-effects. The Dark Fields is a high-concept, highly original thriller, a pharmaceutical Faust that is page-turning and thought-provoking in equal measure.

La vida de Eddie Spinola toma un inesperado giro cuando prueba el MDT-48, una droga sintética desarrollada por un misterioso laboratorio. Sus efectos le permitirán experimentar una inusitada actividad intelectual y física que lo llevarán a alcanzar el éxito con el que siempre soñó. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo que comienza a vivir en un mundo de lujos exorbitantes y multimillonarias transacciones, Spinola padece los nefastos efectos secundarios de la droga y un terrible síndrome de abstinencia cuando empiezan a escasear sus suministros del fármaco. La búsqueda por conseguir nuevamente las dosis y evitar su propia muerte, lo conduce a rastrear el pasado del MDT-48 y a verse envuelto en una intensa trama de oscuros experimentos científicos y una difusa cadena de asesinatos. Este es, sin duda, un apasionante y cinematográfico thriller que dejará sin aliento a todos los lectores.
