We are absolutely over the moon to share that Colin Walsh's debut novel, Kala, has been shortlisted for the debut fiction prize this year.

We all fell in love with this novel as soon as we read it: Kala, Helen, Joe and Mush leapt off the page into our hearts and have stayed there ever since. An instant Irish Times bestseller and now this incredible news, we could not be more thrilled for Colin and the Kinlough crew. And we are *extra* proud that Atlantic Books is the only indie publisher represented on the list this year.

Kala is in all bookshops now - grab your copy of the book of the summer and the debut of the year!

In the seaside town of Kinlough on Ireland’s west coast, three old friends are thrown together for the first time in years. They – Helen, Joe and Mush – were part of an original group of six inseparable teenagers in the summer of 2003 and motherless, reckless Kala Lanann was their group’s centre.

That summer Kala disappeared without a trace. Now it’s fifteen years later and two more girls have gone missing. As past and present begin to collide, the estranged friends are forced to confront their own complicity in the events that led to Kala’s disappearance, and to try to stop Kinlough’s violent patterns repeating themselves once again.

Gritty, gripping and deftly written, Kala is a pitch-dark literary thriller, perfect for summer.
