Tim MacGabhann is an Irish-Mexican journalist and novelist whose fiction draws on his experience covering conflict, corruption, and violence in Central America. The Black Pool is a thriller set in Mexico, inspired by MacGabhann's reporting on the drug war and political corruption.
The novel follows two journalists investigating a murder that leads them into the dangerous intersection of organised crime, politics, and state violence. MacGabhann's writing crackles with the urgency of firsthand experience, creating a thriller that is both terrifyingly real and beautifully written.
The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a powerful, atmospheric thriller. MacGabhann's work appeals to fans of literary crime fiction, international thrillers, and anyone interested in the reality of journalism in some of the world's most dangerous places.
