Synopsis

""Nineteen Seventy Four" is . . . hard to hold in your hand but harder to put down."-"New York Times Book Review" "The finest crime fiction debut of the year!"-George P. Pelecanos
It's winter, 1974, Yorkshire, and Ed Dunford, crime correspondent for the "Evening Post," didn't know it was going to be a season in hell. A dead little girl with swan's wings stitched to her back. A gypsy camp in a ring of fire. Corruption everywhere you look.
Born in Yorkshire, David Peace now lives in Tokyo with his wife and son.
