The Full Irish

The Full Irish is a contemporary crime novel concerned with loyalty, money, and the quiet mechanics of pressure. It prioritises character and consequence over spectacle, allowing tension to accumulate rather than announce itself.

Set against a backdrop of shifting allegiances and concealed motives, the novel follows a tightly drawn cast of characters whose decisions carry weight long after they are made. As financial stakes rise, personal histories and unspoken obligations begin to surface.

The narrative resists easy resolutions, focusing instead on the slow erosion of certainty and the moral compromises that emerge when trust is tested.

Dalton J. Vance writes crime fiction with an emphasis on restraint, structure, and moral consequence. The Full Irish is his debut novel.

A prequel novel, Deco, is forthcoming.
