Resurrection Man — Eoin McNamee

A Publishers Weekly Best Book

Victor Kelly is an artist of sorts--a man who transfigures other men, whose victims are etched with care and craft suggesting a larger purpose. The dense, enfolded maze of Belfast is his habitat; he prowls streets and alleys with the silence of a skilled predator. While Victor offers neither comfort nor absolution, his power over death ensures him a form of eternal life--if only in men's memories and dreams.
