The first installment of David Peace's electrifying Red Riding Quartet vividly brings to life a gritty, dangerous working class city tormented by a series of brutal murders.
Nineteen Seventy-Four follows Eddie Dunford, the newly minted crime correspondent for the Yorkshire "Post." His first story is about Clare Kemplay, a young girl recently found brutally murdered. While the police department and other crime reporters at the newspaper believe it's an isolated incident, Eddie finds a pattern between Clare's disappearance and those of other girls from a few years earlier. Despite his better judgment, and against the advice of others, he starts to dig deep. What he finds is a nightmare of corruption, violence, blackmail, and obsession that ultimately leads to a shocking, explosive conclusion.

Industry Reviews

"A bundle of spastic nerves and jumpy tempos, hard to hold in your hand but harder to put down." --The New York Times Book Review"David Peace is the future of crime fiction. . . . A fantastic talent." --Ian Rankin"Nineteen Seventy-Four is raw and furiously alive, the literary equivalent of a hard right to the jaw. David Peace has delivered the finest crime fiction debut of the year." --George Pelecanos"Peace's stunning debut has done for the county what Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy did for L.A. . . . A brilliant first novel, written with tremendous pace and passion." --Yorkshire Post (UK)
