Silver's City is a 1981 novel by Northern Irish author Maurice Leitch. It won the 1981 Whitbread Book Award for novel of the year and in 2017, on its republication by Northern Ireland's Turnpike Books, was described by his publisher as the "begetter of Northern noir".[1] "Northern noir", also known as Ulster noir,[2] is the Northern Ireland equivalent of Scandinavian Nordic noir, a distinct genre of crime fiction.
