The Bureau (2025)
Eoin McNamee
"For over thirty years, Eoin McNamee has been one of the outstanding writers of his generation. The Bureauis his most personal and heartbreaking novel yet, and stands shoulder to shoulder with his finest work."

The Day of the Roaring (2025)
Nina Bhadreshwar
"One of the most startling and compelling debuts I've read, and heralds the arrival of Nina Bhadreshwar as one of the most original and exciting new voices in crime fiction."
thumb
Only Here, Only Now (2024)
Tom Newlands
"Only Here, Only Now heralds the arrival of an urgent and unique new voice, as engaging and as startling as Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, Morvern Callar or The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, and will surely be hailed as one of the great British debut novels."
