About the author:

Brian McGilloway was born in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Inspector Benedict Devlin series. His first novel, "Borderlands", was shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger 2007 and was hailed by The Times as 'one of (2007's) most impressive debuts.' The second novel in the series, "Gallows Lane", was shortlisted for both the 2009 Irish Book Awards/Ireland AM Crime Novel of the Year and the Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2010.
