Holding goes on sale on October 6th. It has already been called a darkly funny novel, and the author himself describes it as "a mixture of mystery and romance set in a part of the world I love".
In the remote Irish village of Duneen in County Cork, Sergeant PJ Collins hasn't always been this overweight; mother of two Brid Riordan hasn't always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn't always felt that her life was a total waste.
When human remains are discovered on an old farm - suspected to be that of Tommy Burke, a former love of both Brid and Evelyn - the village's dark past begins to unravel. As the frustrated PJ struggles to solve a genuine case for the first time in his life, he unearths a community's worth of anger and resentments, secrets and regret.
The Irish broadcaster has previously published two memoirs, So Me (2004) and The Life and Loves of a He Devil (2014), as well as Ask Graham (2001), a book based on his advice columns in The Daily Telegraph.
