John Connolly and Declan Burke appeared on Matt Cooper's The Last Word (with Anton Savage) on Tuesday to discuss Burke's new book, Down These Green Streets: Irish Crime Writing in the 21st Century. The lively discussion highlighted the excellent state of Irish crime fiction, suggesting our authors look to the mean streets of New York, rather than our closer neigbours in the UK. The collection includes Alex Barclay, Colin Bateman, Eoin McNamee, Gene Kerrigan, John Banville, Ken Bruen, Tana French and many more.
