The Redemption Factory

In a wood at night a young woman witnesses the murder of a whistleblower by a corrupt businessman, owner of a slaughterhouse. Paul Goodman, a would-be snooker champion working at the slaughterhouse, has never known his father and wrongly believes that he deserted him when young. But he is befriended by the one man who holds the key to the mystery of his father's disappearance, and the man responsible for his death. Critically acclaimed author Sam Millar weaves a compelling story in Redemption Factory — about the struggle to acknowledge a wrong, and about loyalty and corruption, life and death.

Sam Millar lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is married with three children. He has enjoyed critical and professional acclaim for his work in literary publications throughout Europe, Africa, Australia, and America. A winner of the Brian Moore Short Story Award for his short story "Rain" in 1998 he has also been short-listed for numerous other literary awards including the Martin Healy Short Story Award and The Cork Literary Review Award.

Two of his stories, "New York" and the award-winning "Rain" have both been performed and transmitted by BBC radio. DARK SOULS was his first novel and ON THE BRINKS is an autobiographical memoir.
