Ireland, awash in cash and greed, no longer turns to the
church for solace or comfort. But the decapitation of
Father Joyce in a Galway church horrifies even the most
jaded citizen.
Jack Taylor, devastated by the recent trauma of personal
loss, has always believed himself to be beyond salvation.
But a new job offers a fresh start, and an unexpected
partnership makes him hope that his one desperate vision -
of family - might yet be fulfilled.
An eerie mix of exorcism, a predatory stalker, and an
unlikely attraction conspires to lure him into a murderous
web of dark conspiracies. The spectre of a child haunts
every waking moment.
Bleak, unsettling and totally original, Ken Bruen's
writing captures the brooding landscape of Irish society
at a time of social and economic upheaval. Here is
evidence of an unmistakeable literary talent.
