'Winslow's masterpiece (so far) ... should have a place on every crime freak's bookshelf. Superb' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
_______________________
A brilliant page-turning thriller of power and revenge on the front lines of the drug war.

Drug lord Miguel Angel Barrera is head of the Mexican drug federaci n, responsible for millions of dollars worth of cocaine traffic into the US and the torture and murder of those who stand in its way. His nephew, Adan Barrera, is his worthy successor.

Art Keller is a US government operative, so determined to obtain revenge for a murdered colleague that his pursuit of the cartel veers dangerously towards an obsession outside the law. In a brutal world filled with striking characters, from a high class prostitute to an Irish hitman and a charismatic Catholic priest, everyone is in search of some kind of salvation - or damnation...

Don Winslow's masterpiece is not only a page-turning thriller but also a rich and compelling novel in the league of James Ellroy or Don DeLillo.

From the author of Empire of Pain - a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating repercussions.

WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING

ONE OF DUA LIPA'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

'The best book I've read for a while, it's fantastic' John Oliver

'A must read' Gillian Flynn

One night in December 1972, Jean McConville, a mother of ten, was abducted from her home in Belfast and never seen alive again. Her disappearance would haunt her orphaned children, the perpetrators of this terrible crime and a whole society in Northern Ireland for decades.

In this powerful, scrupulously reported book, Patrick Radden Keefe offers not just a forensic account of a brutal crime but a vivid portrait of the world in which it happened. The tragedy of an entire country is captured in the spellbinding narrative of a handful of characters, presented in lyrical and unforgettable detail.

A poem by Seamus Heaney inspires the title: 'Whatever You Say, Say Nothing'. By defying the culture of silence, Keefe illuminates how a close-knit society fractured; how people chose sides in a conflict and turned to violence; and how, when the shooting stopped, some ex-combatants came to look back in horror at the atrocities they had committed, while others continue to advocate violence even today.

Say Nothing deftly weaves the stories of Jean McConville and her family with those of Dolours Price, the first woman to join the IRA as a front-line soldier, who bombed the Old Bailey when barely out of her teens; Gerry Adams, who helped bring an end to the fighting, but denied his own IRA past; Brendan Hughes, a fearsome IRA commander who turned on Adams after the peace process and broke the IRA's code of silence; and other indelible figures. By capturing the intrigue, the drama and the profound human cost of the Troubles, the book presents a searing chronicle of the lengths that people are willing to go to in pursuit of a political ideal, and the ways in which societies mend - or don't - in the aftermath of a long and bloody conflict.",{"_795":960,"_797":970,"_777":971},{"_795":960,"_797":973,"_777":1093},"HarperCollins Publishers Limited",{"_795":960,"_797":802,"_777":976},{"_795":960,"_797":978,"_777":979},{"_795":960,"_797":1097,"_777":1098},"language","English",{"_795":960,"_797":981,"_777":1100},"BRITISH & IRISH HISTORY_IRELAND; TRUE CRIME",{"_795":960,"_797":984,"_777":1102},"2019-08-22",{"_795":960,"_797":987,"_777":1104},"528",{"_795":960,"_797":805,"_777":1106},"William Collins",{"_795":811,"_797":350,"_777":992},{"_795":811,"_797":731,"_777":992},{"_795":811,"_797":995,"_777":996},{"_795":811,"_797":814,"_777":815},{"_795":811,"_797":817,"_777":996},{"_795":811,"_797":1000,"_777":1113},"02/09/2026",{"_795":811,"_797":819,"_777":1115},"29/07/2026",{"_795":811,"_797":1005,"_777":1117},"30.0",{"_795":811,"_797":822,"_777":1117},{"_795":811,"_797":1009,"_777":1120},"19",{"_795":811,"_797":824,"_777":825},{"_795":827,"_797":828,"_777":1123},"True Crime",{"_795":827,"_797":350,"_777":1123},{"_795":827,"_797":731,"_777":1126},"Irish History",{"_795":827,"_797":832,"_777":1128},"TRUCRI",{"_795":827,"_797":1020,"_777":1128},{"_795":827,"_797":834,"_777":1131},"IRIHIS",{"_795":827,"_797":836,"_777":1133},"TRUE CRIME",{"_795":827,"_797":1026,"_777":1133},{"_795":827,"_797":839,"_777":1136},"EUROPEAN HISTORY",{"_795":827,"_797":841,"_777":1138},"SOCIETY, CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY",{"_795":827,"_797":1031,"_777":1138},{"_795":827,"_797":844,"_777":1141},"HISTORY",{"_795":827,"_797":846,"_777":1143},"NON FICTION",{"_795":827,"_797":848,"_777":1143},{"_795":827,"_797":850,"_777":1146},"CRI,HIS",{"_795":827,"_797":1038,"_777":851},{"_795":827,"_797":853,"_777":1149},"HIS",{"_762":1151},[1152],{"_765":116,"_766":-5,"_130":1153,"_209":1154,"_768":1158,"_774":1159,"_17":1055,"_778":1161,"_780":1162},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/43581457858757",{"_1045":1155,"_1047":1048,"_130":1156,"_35":1070,"_1050":1157},"Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder & Memory in Northern Ireland Cover Image","gid://shopify/ProductImage/34873140281541",1336,{"_770":771,"_772":1117},[1160],{"_751":752,"_777":1055},"9780008159269",{"_782":1163},[1164,1167],{"_785":1165},{"_787":116,"_133":1166},{"_751":347},{"_785":1168},{"_787":116,"_133":1169},{"_751":729},{"_130":1171,"_17":1172,"_742":1173,"_759":1174,"_792":1176,"_760":1234},"gid://shopify/Product/7917056917701","Murder on the Orient Express","murder-on-the-orient-express-1",{"_35":1175},"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0625/6679/3413/files/Poirot_20-_20Murder_20on_20the_20Orient_20Express_20_5BSpecial_20Edition_5D.jpg?v=1716546952",[1177,1178,1180,1182,1183,1184,1185,1186,-5,1188,1190,1192,1193,1194,1196,1198,-5,-5,1199,1201,-5,1203,1204,1205,1206,1207,1208,1209,1211,1213,1214,1216,1217,1218,1219,1220,1221,1222,1223,1224,1225,1226,1227,1228,1229,-5,1230,1231,1232,1233],{"_795":796,"_797":17,"_777":1172},{"_795":796,"_797":799,"_777":1179},"CHRISTIE AGATHA",{"_795":796,"_797":802,"_777":1181},"HB",{"_795":796,"_797":805,"_777":1077},{"_795":796,"_797":955,"_777":1079},{"_795":796,"_797":808,"_777":1079},{"_795":960,"_797":961,"_777":815},{"_795":960,"_797":17,"_777":1187},"Poirot - Murder on the Orient Express [Special Edition]",{"_795":960,"_797":799,"_777":1189},"Agatha Christie",{"_795":960,"_797":967,"_777":1191},"Agatha Christie's most famous murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover with special finishes.

''An outstanding and exceptional mystery from start to finish . . . everything fans would hope for.'' JANE HARPER

''Stevenson''s brilliant and creative second closed-circle mystery toys with golden age mystery tropes while delivering its own hugely satisfying whodunit .... This is another triumph from a gifted genre specialist ... deliciously clever.'' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY US

''It''s fun and diverting, with a plethora of red herrings.'' NEW YORK TIMES

When the Australian Mystery Writers'' Society invited me to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book. Fiction, this time- I needed a break from real people killing each other. Obviously, that didn''t pan out.

The program is a who''s who of crime-writing royalty-

the debut writer (me!)
the forensic science writer
the blockbuster writer
the legal thriller writer
the literary writer
the psychological suspense writer.

But when one of us is murdered, six authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.

Or commit one.

How can you find a killer when all the suspects know how to get away with murder?

''Sparkling with wit and witticisms about the world of writers and writing, Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect offers a tip of the hat to the great Agatha Christie novel while at the same time being a modern reinvention of it. Leave it to Stevenson to make high-jinx and murder deviously good fun.'' NITA PROSE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest

''Clever, satisfying, impossible to put down and gloriously inventive. It''s fantastic. Books like this are why we love reading.'' STUART TURTON

A wild and wonderful ride . . . I laughed out loud.'' HAYLEY SCRIVENOR

''Crazily good crime fiction. Don''t miss this train!'' CANDICE FOX

''This is just as cleverly written as the previous book, with wit, laugh out loud moments and humorous asides and observations on the nature of writers and festivals... If you enjoy meta fiction and Stevenson''s previous novel featuring Ernest, then you will surely enjoy going along on this wild and deadly train trip with him.'' MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE MAGAZINE

Praise for EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS KILLED SOMEONE-

''What an exceptionally fresh, smart, funny book - I''ve never read anything like this before.'' Jane Harper

''As fresh and zingy as a salted lime. It''s Knives Out meets Richard Osman. Or Dexter by way of Agatha Christie. Or Schitt''s Creek with a body count.'' A J Finn

''Readers won''t want to put this story down . . . This is undoubtedly a future classic.'' Big Issue Australia

''For something different, look no further than the very clever and entirely experimental Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone . . . One of the most anticipated books of the year.'' Weekend Australian

''The best thing I''ve read in ages. I absolutely loved it. Whip-smart, twisted, funny, and constructed with the pinpoint precision of a bloodthirsty watchmaker.'' Stuart MacBride

''I absolutely LOVED it. Engaging, entertaining and charming. I don''t think I''ve ever read anything like it. It was such a fun read.'' Marian Keyes

''Clever, unexpected, and not to be missed.'' Karin Slaughter

''Elegantly sinuous, superbly plotted, and surprise-packed . . . One of the best damn things I''ve read this year.'' WrittenbySime

''The most original novel you will read this year . . . a funny and clever novel that pays homage to the classic British murder mystery.''
