Series of books set in and around West Yorkshire and 'ull. ie my neck of the woods.
The four books cover a period of time between 1973 and 1983 and look at corruption within the West Yorkshire police force. I've only read 1973 so far but the prose are incredible, they remind me a lot of a fusion of Christopher Priest and James Ellroy. Kind of minimalistic, with metaphor and background detail used instead of straight description.
As such the books tend to be quite harrowing reads, there's a line of madness that Peace goes down quite often that is really well done and never anything less than shocking.
The style is bruising and jagged and its well worth a read.
