'A smart and pacy debut' Irish Times 'One is struck by its mordant
wit and fierce intelligence' Martin W. Sandler, National Book
Award-winning author and historian 'A cracker read about morality
and ethics in a time of conflict . . . A really accessible way of
getting into complex stuff on nation-building and justice' Claire
Hanna, MP for Belfast South 1920, the Irish War of Independence.
Amid the turmoil of an emerging nation, two young IRA members
assigned to police a rural village discover the body of a young
boy, apparently drowned. One of them, a veteran of the First World
War, recognises violence when he sees it - but does one more corpse
really matter in this time of bitter conflict? The reluctant
detectives must navigate the vicious bloodshed, murky allegiances
and savage complexities of a land defining itself to find justice
for the murdered boy. Neither of them realises just how dangerous
their task will become.
