Synopsis

His choices. Their lives. A moment of madness. Ger Mayes is a slacker. A consumer. He thinks life owes him, takes what he can and goes with the flow. His perspective on life, like that of another famous slacker The Big Lebowski, is sometimes humorous, but the story takes a noir turn when Ger kills a mugger and is held to account for it. All things move toward their end, of that you can be sure. Contemporary Irish crime fiction set in Dublin and Kilkenny, Peril is the story of an anti-hero. Men want to be him, women want to redeem him. Ger's story is fiction, but his origins are real - everyday folk living and working in a Dublin city center wracked with organized begging, drug addicts and violent crime. It's not all leprechauns and shillelaghs in Ireland. Ladies, don't let your man read this book. You don't want him getting ideas. Fellas, keep your copy well hidden.
