ABOUT THIS SESSION

Three authors explore the rise of Belfast Noir and what makes the city such a powerful setting for crime fiction. Drawing from their own novels and a Belfast-based short story collection, they discuss how history, politics, and place shape stories of murder and mayhem, and why Belfast continues to inspire dark, unforgettable narratives.
