JACK TAYLOR WOKE UP.
HE WISHED HE HADN'T.
In the private-detective business, you get on the wrong side of some dangerous people. For Galway investigator Jack Taylor, that meant a violent assault that left him comatose.
Waking up during the Covid pandemic, Jack struggles to cope with the radical changes the world has seen during his absence. Work - and the bottle - helps.
One thing that never changes is the venality of human nature. Local nuns are being attacked, the perpetrator wielding a hammer, and Jack is called in to investigate. With no help from official channels, he finds himself hunting a particularly vicious criminal - alone - once again.
And as he delves deeper into these senseless attacks, Jack soon discovers a darkness that makes him wish he had never woken up.
A gripping slice of Irish neo-noir from the critically acclaimed author of the Jack Taylor series.
