Richard T. Kelly<br />
<strong>Conville</strong> & <strong>Walsh</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong><br />
Fiction<br />
A remarkable first novel from the film journalist behind Sean Penn’s authorized biography<br />
Set largely in Newcastle upon Tyne during the autumn and winter of 1996/1997, CRUSADERS<br />
chronicles the intertwined lives of four disparate individuals drawn together by circumstance… and<br />
with tragic consequences.<br />
With its strong narrative involving the Church, organized crime and politics, the novel paints a detailed<br />
portrait of the northeast of England, its industrial heritage and its distinctive social and political<br />
character – and in doing so says something of where we are today.<br />
Richard T. Kelly was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1970, and grew up in Northern Ireland. He is<br />
the author of two well-regarded books on television and film history, ALAN CLARKE and THE NAME OF<br />
THIS BOOK IS DOGME 95, and of the highly acclaimed SEAN PENN: His Life and Times (Faber, 2004).<br />
