      About This Book

      When one of the few remaining villagers in Leaca is murdered, suspicion falls on the one resident Englishman and outsider, Nick Ambrose. As tensions rise and old forms of law threaten to impose summary justice, the easy and rich fabric of life that has sustained the town for so many years unravels and tears with shocking results. Set in rural western Ireland in 1948, McGingley's novel is a gripping and powerful exploration of community, violence and Irish ways. ""Filled with elegiac prose, this shocking tale of moral decay that spreads from one black heart to claim everything in its path will keep readers turning the pages.""--Publishers Weekly, Aug. 26, 2013
