Summary

"Thrilling, disturbing, shocking and moving, 'Trouble Is Our Business: New Stories by Irish Crime Writers' is a compulsive anthology of original stories by Ireland's best-known crime writers. Irish crime writers have long been established on the international stage as bestsellers and award winners. Now for the first time ever, the best of contemporary Irish crime novelists are brought together in one volume. Edited by Declan Burke, the anthology embraces the crime genre's traditional themes of murder, revenge, intrigue, justice and redemption. These stories engage with the full range of crime fiction incarnations: from police procedurals to psychological thrillers, domestic noir to historical crime -- but there's also room for the supernatural, the futuristic, the macabre. As Emerald Noir blossoms into an international phenomenon, there has never been a more exciting time to be a fan of Irish crime fiction"--Book jacket.
