What this book is about
Stuart Neville's thriller is set in post-peace-process Northern Ireland, where former police inspector Jack Lennon uncovers a conspiracy connecting old paramilitary violence to current political corruption. Neville's crime fiction — winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize — is known for its unflinching look at Northern Ireland's legacy of sectarian violence and the impossibility of clean endings.
