Product description

Review

Terrifyingly authentic, shiveringly good -- Val McDermid

Fast-paced, coolly plotted -- Time Out

James Ellroy and Val McDermid were among admirers of Stuart Neville's corpse-filled debut The Twelve, and his follow-up Collusion is another mesmerising Belfast blood bath. The Traveller and O'Kane are memorably grotesque creations and Neville's violent showdowns rival those in Jacobean revenge plays -- John Dugdale ― Sunday Times

A second novel that not only lives up to the promise of the first, but actually exceeds it -- John Connolly

Brisk, addictive and possessing an expert sense of when to play the "supernatural" card, Collusion is a worthy successor to one of last year's best thrillers -- John O'Connell ― Guardian

About the Author

Stuart Neville’s first novel, The Twelve, was one of the most critically acclaimed crime debuts of recent years, winning the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for best thriller. Collusion, Stolen Souls, Ratlines (shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger), The Final Silence and Those We Left Behind (a Richard and Judy Book Club choice) have garnered widespread praise, confirming his position as one of the most exciting crime authors writing today.

Fast-flowing and entertaining ride

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2020

Verified Purchase

When I saw that The Twelve (or The Gosts of Belfast) had become the first in the Jack Lennon series, I was somewhat surprised. The Twelve, an excellent novel, was in the most part about the (deservedly) troubled soul of Gerry Fagan. Despite featuring more of Lennon, Collusion is a three way tale featuring the POVs of Lennon, Fagan and The Traveller. In keeping with the first book, all three have their demons. There are other interested parties here, and all have their own agendas. It can't quite reach the heights of its predecessor, but Collusion is still a fast-flowing and entertaining ride.

After reading the excellent 'The Twelve' and the fabulous 'Ratliners'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2015

Verified Purchase

After reading the excellent 'The Twelve' and the fabulous 'Ratliners', my expectations were perhaps too high and although 'Collusion' is a good read, I confess to being a little disappointed.
The principle issue is that 'Collusion' is not really a novel in its own right, it's more a part two of 'The Twelve' and there is no real strong stand alone story that distinguishes it and gives it a separate identity.
OK, it does introduce Neville's new serial character, Jack Lennon, and it does nicely wrap up the events started in 'The Twelve' but beyond that, frankly you are left wondering why Neville didn't just write the two into one.
Certainly, don't read it before 'The Twelve'. It would make little or no sense.
All of that said, Neville's voice is in tact and he remains one of, if the best writer of noir working either side of the Atlantic.

Though Stuart Neville can write such brilliant, breakneck books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2016

Verified Purchase

Though Stuart Neville can write such brilliant, breakneck books, this one is tedious. Jack Lennon, the central character, is the usual tired fictional detective, with the usual regrets, the usual personal problems, the usual inclination to go off on his own unofficial enquiries, the usual indulgent superior who tries to warn him, the usual further-up superior threatening him. I could not find it in my imagination to be interested in this character, nor do I care what he does or what happens to him. Boring. Even though the electrifying Gerry Fegan from Neville's previous and first book, 'The Twelve', reappears in this one, I gave up around page 130. Don't waste your money on this.

Great sequel that leaves me wanting even more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2010

Verified Purchase

I read and reviewed The Twelve before. I really enjoyed reading that book and it made me a fan of Stuart Neville instantly. It was only a matter of time before I read the sequel Collusion; and now that I have finished it I can say that although some story elements were upsetting, Stuart Neville has evolved as a writer. Collusion introduces a handful of new characters, most notably Jack Lennon and The Traveler. Both characters were written well, to the point the story no longer feels as though it is Gerry Fegan's. Although I am a big follower of Gerry Fegan, The Traveler quickly became my favorite character. Many people feel like his character didn't fit his apparent reputation, but I thought The Traveler was brilliantly portrayed by Neville.

I am fairly upset by the outcome of the book. But I hope Stuart Neville will do future books centered around The Traveler. I fully recommend this book to anybody who read The Twelve.

From Villian to Hero, DI Lennon has changed my opinion on him, thanks to Stuart

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Bought and read this straight after The Twelve (the 1st book in this series) absolutely love the characters Stuart has created. Genuinely gripping and the tension he creates...wow. Initially didnt warm to DI Lennon as he was painted in a bad light In The Twelve, but by the end I'm now a fan. Another great read and again finished in a few days.

average ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2010

Verified Purchase

I recently read 'The Twelve', which was the prequel to 'Collusion' and found it completely compelling ... but sadly 'Collusion' was disappointing. The 'villain', 'The Traveller' is supposedly a fearsome contract killer - but along the way he seems to make so many mistakes, and suffers so many minor unfortunate incidents (in which he comes off badly) that you'd almost expect to see him popping up as the villain in a gangster spoof. Having said that, the plot carries the reader along, and I would read another book by Stuart Neville - but I'd hope that the next book matches the standard of his first ('The Twelve') rather than 'Collusion'.

A great sequel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2016

Verified Purchase

A great sequel to The Twelve. Gerry Fegan made a reappearance in this book to come back and save Marie and Ellen. Without spoiling the ending, I would have liked it tied up a little more and knowing what happened to the characters. Unless it has been left open for a further novel? Either way, I was gripped throughout and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
