Read by Dan Murphy

After a period of imprisonment, Nealon returns to an empty house in the west of Ireland to find his wife and young son missing. Then he gets a call from a man who claims to know what's happened to them-a man who'll tell Nealon all he needs to know in return for a single meeting. In a hotel lobby, in the shadow of an unfolding terrorist attack, Nealon and the man embark on a conversation shot through with secrets and unknown dangers, a verbal game of cat and mouse that ranges from Nealon's past and crimes to Ireland's place in the world order to the location of his family. This Plague of Souls is another ambitious and formally daring masterwork from one of the most exciting novelists working today
