Constable, 2025

'McGilloway is one of the finest crime-writers working today' ANN CLEEVES 'A hugely talented storyteller' CHRIS WHITAKER Katie lives a quiet life. She likes her small Derry neighbourhood. She likes her job as a barmaid at O'Reillys. And she loves her daughter, Hope. But everything changes when she is approached by two detectives. They want Katie to tell them the things she hears at work. To become their informant. In this city, Katie knows the dangers of talking to the police. Yet with Hope's safety at risk should she refuse, she is trapped between two impossible choices. Crossing the O'Reilly brothers could cost her everything. Her only chance of survival is if she can remain the one that they least suspect . . . A gripping, heart-wrenching thriller that explores the fine line between right and wrong, justice and revenge, and how you choose your side when everyone is guilty . . . Praise for Brian McGilloway: 'A hugely compelling story . . . probably the best novel yet by one of our finest mystery writers. Unmissable' JOHN CONNOLLY 'Some of the very best crime fiction being written today' LEE CHILD 'Gripping' IAN RANKIN 'Utterly stunning and beautifully written' LIZ NUGENT 'This book is the peak of what crime fiction can do' STEVE CAVANAGH 'One of last year's most impressive debuts' THE TIMES 'The tension and heartbreak kept me turning the pages' PATRICIA GIBNEY 'One of those rare gems; a beautifully written crime novel that's also brilliantly paced, skillfully plotted and utterly absorbing. Brian McGilloway is, quite simply, a master of his art. Bravo' JO SPAIN 'Utterly compelling' JANE CASEY 'Clever, engaging and beautifully crafted' IRISH INDEPENDENT **'**A finely calibrated account of loss, grief and simmering rage' IRISH TIMES 'Superb' LITERARY REVIEW Bravo' Jo Spain 'Brian McGilloway's police procedurals are a masterclass in crime fictions' Andrea Carter 'A clever, engaging and beautifully crafted police procedural' Irish Independent 'Some of the very best crime fiction being written today' Lee Child on Bad Blood 'This dazzling, labyrinthine debut impresses not only for the authentic depiction of a troubled community and the conflicts of a fallible detective, but also for the intense portrait of the borderlands themselves; as beautiful and terrible as the secrets they keep' Guardian 'McGilloway's Borderlands was one of last years most impressive debuts. Does Gallows Lane pass the feared second-novel test? Easily.' The Times 'McGilloway skilfully handles the tangled threads of a conspiracy surrounding an old crime, to make a satisfying mystery with an attractive central character.' Sunday Telegraph
