The Swill

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"I can't resist: The Swill is swell. It reads like the princely offspring of Chandler and Lehane. It's sharp, witty, violent. It's a sort of political/historical thriller, but what made it important to me is that it's really about family, all kinds of family." - Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish and This Isn't Going to End Well Port Kydd, 1929. Joshua Rivers, his pregnant wife Lily, his criminal sister Olive, a geriatric dog Orla, and a cast of ne'er-do-wells eke out life in The Swill, a speakeasy passed down through the Rivers family. Outside, political and race wars rage in The Bonny, the rough Irish neighborhood where they have always lived. But when Olive's in trouble and asks her brother to help her pull a job--one with roots that reach way back into the Rivers family history--who will take the fall? Can The Swill shelter the family, as it always has, or is their luck gone for good?
