About this title

Review:

Alan Glynn's THE DARK FIELDS is that rare thing - a first novel of such great stylistic assurance and narrative energy that you immediately realize you're in the hands of a born storyteller. More tellingly, this dark, corrosive story of designer pharmaceuticals and high finance is a trenchant morality tale for our manic, avaricious times. This is a wild, compulsive ride into the greedy vortex of modern life. It is also an astonishing debut (Douglas Kennedy)

This is fast, clever- and horrifying, in a cheerful sort of way. (DAILY TELEGRAPH)

Glynn understands the thriller format and drives the plot relentlessly forward with verve and panache...A finely written debut, new in paperback, by an Irish writer who will only get stronger. (EVENING HERALD)

Book Description:

* A terrific thriller about a wonder lifestyle drug and its irresistible effects. Compelling and thought-provoking THE DARK FIELDS is a brilliant debut.
