Mick Donnellan
John-joe is engaged but he doesn’t want to get married. He’s not sure how to break this to Karen. Then he meets Marilyn at the stag night in Madrid. They spend a steamy night together and everything changes. Now the wedding is cancelled, the police want to talk to him about a double murder, and the phone is ringing with mysterious requests to come to London. John-joe suddenly finds himself in a surreal world, full of unusual characters and extreme danger, with no obvious way out. Met with impossible choices, he can only trust the alluring woman that offers all the answers - but at what cost? Set in Athlone, heart of the Irish midlands, Mick Donnellan’s fourth novel is an erotic story of love, loss, betrayal, and passion. Rich in both comedy and tragedy the story thunders along with unexpected twists and ominous turns that culminate in a devastating climax.
