John Blaine is a private detective, who walks Dublin's mean streets. He is tough and smart, but unlucky in love - his wife has just left him. Hired to bring home a straying daughter, he takes the girl's side against her rich father, and suffers for it.
Gripping, funny and stripped to the bone, 'Sad Song' is a short novel that packs a punch like a first in a velvet glove.
