An Irish gangster, on the run after a job gone wrong, stumbles upon a young woman lost in the Dublin mountains. Injured and unarmed, the unlikely pair must try to evade their pursuers and survive the desolate bog that has served as burial grounds for unspeakable murder throughout history. DECLAN SHALVEY (INJECTION, SAVAGE TOWN) and GAVIN FULLERTON (Bags) deliver a cold and poignant story of crime, survival, and regret.
"A damn good, feel bad comic." -ComicBook.com
"A fast-paced, thrilling noir perfect for fans of the Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips's Criminal and David Lapham's Stray Bullets." -Library Journal
"The story fizzes with black humour and local flourish, and its dialogue hums with the knotty cadences of Dublin speech. The effect is arresting." -The Irish Times
"A hauntingly beautiful crime thriller that is sad, funny and terrifying with its inevitability." -Tom Muller
"A seedy noir vision of modern Ireland, where the cities are nests of crime, peat country is where the bodies are buried, and everyone speaks in filthy rat-tat-tat slang." -Publishers Weekly
"If Martin Scorsese paired off with Michael Avon Oeming... A powerful story." -Newsarama
