Bloodland

Bloodland

“Glynn plays out these grand themes--the global economic crisis, America's battle with China for dominance in Africa, the human costs of illegal mining--on a very personal scale, through a group of deeply flawed but compelling characters.” ―NPR ---- “Glynn spins a seamless web of conspiracy spanning three continents....I read Bloodland twice, the second time for the rare pleasure of watching a first-rate investigative reporter--and novelist--at work.” ―The Daily Beast ---- “Stunningly intricate...like an amped-up twenty-first-century version of Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key.” ―Los Angeles Review of Books ---- “Imagine a first-rate investigative reporter digging into global corruption and turning what he learns into fast-paced fiction, and you have Irish noir star Glynn.” ―Jane Ciabattari, BBC.com (Crime Writers to Read Now) ---- “Scarily plausible in a way that eludes most thriller writers, with an alarmingly authentic cast of control freaks and loose cannons…I've not read such a multilayered, expertly plotted portrayal of arrogance, greed, and hubris in a long time. [There are] echoes of John le Carré, 24, and James Ellroy here, but Glynn's talent is all his own, and his ability to ratchet up the tension is eye-popping.” ―The Guardian
