Bartholomew 'Bat' Lynch is an Irish immigrant who comes to America
with his older sister, Mary, during Prohibition. Bat is a rover, a
philosopher and, in many ways, a child who never grows up. He's
witty, light-hearted, quick to tell a joke and even quicker to have
a drink or two. During his lifetime he works at numerous
occupations, though most are short-term, and he has memorable
experiences at each of them. An immensely likeable fellow, Bat is
blessed with good luck and has an uncanny knack for landing on his
feet. But his real fortune in life is Eileen, his wife, who stands
by him through it all, unfaltering and steadfast. Bad blood exists
between Bat and Eileen's brother, Jerry, who also becomes his
brother-in-law when he weds Bat's sister. Over the years Bat keeps
the dark secret he knows about Jerry to himself, and Jerry's hatred
for Bat continues to fester. It all comes to a head during Bat's
wake when divine retribution plays a hand in evening up the score.
The Last of the Unicorns has anecdotes that will make you laugh out
loud along with heart-wrenching passages that will evoke tears. It
has innocence and intrigue, guile and goodness, decency and
deception, mirth and mortality. Bat Lynch - like the fabled unicorn
- is a unique and unforgettable character you'll be thinking about
long after you read the last page.
