| Synopsis: |
It's a clusterfuck...a missing woman, an earl, who also happens to be a Catholic bishop, with his young male companion facing the threat of a murder charge. The missing woman was his girlfriend, and also the daughter of a senior police officer, and the copper himself is out of control. And Stevie McCabe is in the middle of it. McCabe quickly discovers that more - many more - women have been disappearing and he embarks on a harrowing journey through the far reaches of the night, travelling deep into the dark heart of the city, where there are no easy answers and definitely no happy endings. Tangling in the darkness with demons, real and imagined, McCabe wrestles with fate and redemption in places where he seems to be the only honest man left, but doubting even that. Prostitutes, the men who prey on them, gangsters, police, junkies and priests all leave their mark on McCabe as he faces the truth about the city and its victims, finding echoes in his own past everywhere he turns. |
