In this race for the Irish Presidency, the road is paved with deception, blackmail, and sexual intrigue. In Derry, the ceasefire may have curtailed some of the Boys' activities, but corruption and crime have yet to be decommissioned. With the Irish presidential election looming, local gangster Harry the Hurler sees his chance to muscle his way into the South. He backs both Derry judge 'Letemout' Lou and notorious newspaperman Stan--who happen to be ex-lovers--as his candidates. These rivals will stop at nothing to win--and the bad guys are even worse! An irresistibly funny novel that lifts the lid on the double-dealing, fast-talking and downright dirty world of Irish politics.

Requiems for the Departed Irish Crime, Irish Myths. It has been said before, that every story has already been told. Maybe so. But if you've got the gift of the gab, you can tell the same tale as often as you like and still give it a life of its own every time. Requiems for the Departed flaunts that gift seventeen times over. The children of Conchobar are back to their old mischievous ways; ancient Celtic royalty and druids and banshees are set loose in the new Irish underbelly. Requiems for the Departed contains seventeen short stories, inspired by Irish mythology, from some of the finest contemporary writers in the business.
