Collection: Adult fiction

From the author of Only Forward comes yet another journey into strange territories. Jack Randall, a dangerous loner and war veteran, has two choices. He chooses revenge and enters a surreal world of black comedy and fear.

This work draws on Joyce's the complete spectrum of his Irish roots and, with meticulous attention to detail, creates an intimately observed portrait of a city and its people at a time of radical social and political change.

This novel contains many of the classic Dickensian themes of grinding poverty, the eventual triumph of good in the face of great adversity, the lures of temptation and the terrors of fear, desperation and menace. It presents some of Dickens's most enduring characters, such as Fagin.
