 A post peace treaty Northern Ireland is the backdrop for this very dark, gritty story of a former IRA hitman, Gerry, haunted by the people he’s killed. “Sooner or later, everyone pays” repeats in his head as he attempts to right past wrongs.
The book is told through Gerry, an unreliable narrator dealing with guilt and pain in the only way he knows how, violence. Some paranormal content. Plenty of trigger warnings.
