Glucksman Ireland House, NYU

Down These Green Streets
Irish Crime Fiction

Saturday, September 24th 10am–5:30pm

at Glucksman Ireland House NYU

There’s been a major crime wave in Ireland – come get to the bottom of it on this day-long investigation of the crime fiction genre that has exploded in Ireland in the last fifteen years.

Seven leading practitioners of Green Noir will visit Glucksman Ireland House at New York University to discuss the angles and the clues, the plots and counterplots, the dark journeys and the struggles for the truth that energize some of the most exciting writing coming out of contemporary Ireland.

John Connolly, Declan Burke, Stuart Neville, Arlene Hunt, Declan Hughes, Alex Barclay, and Colin Bateman will join Professor Ian Campbell Ross and several special guests from among Irish America’s great crime writers.

Several new books will be launched, including Down These Green Streets, edited by Declan Burke; the new Charlie Parker mystery by John Connolly; the third volume of Stuart Neville’s award winning Belfast trilogy; and new books by Declan Burke and Colin Bateman.

Premium Pass holders meet the authors at a special VIP reception following the day of talks.
