Holding: A Novel

From Graham Norton, the BAFTA-award-winning Irish television host and author of the â€œsparkling and impishâ€ (Daily Mail) memoirs The Life and Loves of a He Devil and So Me, comes a charming debut novel set in an idyllic Irish village where a bumbling investigator has to sort through decades of gossip and secrets to solve a mysterious crime.

The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama but when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burkeâ€”a former lover of two different inhabitantsâ€”the villageâ€™s dark past begins to unravel. As the frustrated sergeant PJ Collins struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his life, he unearths a communityâ€™s worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regret.

In this darkly comic, touching, and at times heartbreaking novel, perfect for fans of J.K. Rowlingâ€™s The Casual Vacancy, Graham Norton employs his acerbic wit to breathe life into a host of loveable characters, and exploreâ€”with searing honestyâ€”the complexities and contradictions that make us human.
