‘This is nothing less than the work of a genuine master, a must-read’ - Billy O'Callaghan
‘Wonderful, shape-shifting stuff’ - Colum McCann
Chenevix Meredith, recently retired, is whiling away his time somewhere on the south coast of England, when his old colleague, Henry Plumm, is found dead. The discovery prompts Meredith to reminisce about their days in 1960s Dublin, where the pair ran a theatrical agency – except this theatrical agency was actually an outpost of the British state, and the duo were investigating the city’s terrorist networks as undercover agents. Now, following the murder of his friend, Meredith is forced to contend with the buried darkness of their past.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
