**WINNER OF THE NERO BOOK AWARDS DEBUT FICTION AWARD 2024**

‘Beautiful…brings to life an entire world’ SALLY ROONEY

‘Sublime… A thrillingly moreish novel’ SUNDAY TIMES

*

It’s the biggest weekend of the year and everything is about to change – the thrilling debut novel from the prize-winning author.

In Ballina, the simmering feud between small-time drug-dealer Cillian English and County Mayo’s enforcers, Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, spills over into violence and an ugly ultimatum. Soon the reclusive Dev and Cillian’s teenage brother Doll are drawn headlong into the Ferdias’ revenge fantasy. Meanwhile, Doll’s girlfriend Nicky sets out on a feverish mission to save him.

Life in this ordinary town will never be the same again…
