A literary thriller with a heart, 'The Valparaiso Voyage' blows the lid off the Celtic Tiger and looks at the corruption which spawned today's Ireland.

This is the story of Brendan Brogan, who grew up in the small town of Navan on the outskirts of Dublin. An unhappy childhood spent searching for love and affection leads to an unhappy adulthood spent gambling and trying to hold a difficult marriage together. When circumstances offer Brogan a chance to fake his own death, he seizes the chance and runs far away - to Portugal, where a new life beckons.

But no one can escape the past entirely, and when his father is found murdered, Brogan returns to Dublin. Here he finds a new Ireland, wracked with corruption, everyone - politicians, bankers, businessmen, councillors, - caught up in it, including his own father.

Tormented by memories and old resentments, Brogan nevertheless feels he must solve the riddle of his father's death. And he finds himself not in the least surprised to discover that the rot set in many years ago, back in the Navan of his childhood.

A cracking, fast-paced literary thriller, contemporary and topical.
