Winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, The New Policeman takes readers on a visit to Tír na n’ Óg, the land of eternal youth. J J Liddy’s mother wants just one thing for her birthday – Time. The only place you might get it is a place where time goes at a different speed.

Winner of the Whitbread Children’s Book Award
The New policeman trilogy:
Everyone in Kinvara is conscious that time is flying past, faster and faster - to such an extent that when JJ asks his mother what she would like as a birthday present she ask for more time. JJ dismisses this as mere wishful thinking, an impossibility, for who know where the time goes? The Liddys have been musicians for generations and JJ is no exception but what he discovers is that a shadow from the past hangs over their family - did his great-grandfather murder the village priest?
