Down these green streets: Irish crime writing in the twenty-first century

This book suggests crime fiction is now the most relevant and valid form of writing which can deal with modern Ireland in terms of the post-Troubles landscape and post-Celtic Tiger economic boom.

The book takes a chapter by chapter approach with each chapter and author discussing a different facet of Irish crime writing for example, Declan Hughes discusses the influence of American culture on Irish crime writing and Tana French reflects on crime fiction and the post-Celtic Tiger Irish identity.

This publication is aimed at both the academic and general reader.
