Description
Book SynopsisThree estranged brothers - Michael, a priest, David, a policeman, and James, a career criminal - are brought suddenly face to face once more in a town on the Inishowen peninsula when Amir, a Syrian refugee, robs a restaurant and then claims sanctuary in the local church. In offering the man refuge, Michael, the parish priest, enflames tensions in a town already febrile over the opening of a Direct Provision centre housing asylum seekers. Things become complicated when David, alongside Garda Maria Da Gama, discovers that Amir is a unwitting pawn in a much larger conspiracy and the restaurant he robbed was laundering stolen money for an organised crime gang led by David's brother. Then Amir goes missing from the church just as the O'Kane brothers are called to their dying father's bedside.
As protestors take to the streets and tempers rise, David must race against time to find Amir even as a long buried family secret which bound the three brothers in blood
