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.
