Description
'Nicola Tallant, not for the first time, demonstrates why she is the very best writer on crime. No novelist alive could ever imagine the very complex and very dark human dramas that she skilfully unravels, delivering page after page of truth-telling that we must pay attention to' - Darragh MacIntyre
From the author of the 2023 bestselling Cocaine Cowboys, murder and deception and the underworld of Irish gangland intertwine in a deadly dance of power and survival.
A murder in Belfast of gangland's most wanted man, Robbie Lawlor, uncovers a web of betrayal that spans out across the Irish underworld and beyond. Follow a bloody trail that leads all the way into the heart of one of the worst gang feuds Ireland has ever seen which culminates in the Narco style dismemberment of a teenage boy, Keane Mulready Woods. And as the curtain is pulled back on the inner workings of the world of organised crime, a cast of ruthless characters take centre stage for their place in a double cross plot that reads like a fast-paced thriller.

'Tallant's sober and unsettling book proves beyond all doubt that this has become one of the most shameful blights on our society' * Irish Independent *
'The book's power comes from bringing myriad strands of Ireland's underworld together, it clarifies the scale of the violence, the ruthless ambition, the challenges and dangers facing the Gardaí, the PSNI, the courts and the visceral disregard for life or law' * Irish Examiner *
