Book Description

In a London pub in the 1950s, editor William Maginn is intrigued by a mention of the strange demise of a remote mountain village in County Kerry. He uncovers an astonishing tale: the account of the distruction of a place and way of life and the tragedy of an increasingly isolated village where all the women misteriously die - leaving the priest, Father McGreevy, to cope with insoluble problems. This novel explores the locus of misfortune and the very nature of evil.
