Haylen Beck is the pseudonym of Northern Ireland writer Stuart Neville, an acclaimed, Edgar-nominated author whose crime fiction has won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and made best-of-year lists with numerous publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Boston Globe.

Noireland made its debut in 2017, bringing a plethora of crime authors from around the world together to inform and inspire crime lovers and aspiring authors about their writing journeys.

It’s fair to say that the first Noireland International Crime Fiction Festival went off with a bang.
