Information

Joshua Molloy is back in Dublin after a stint at Her Majesty's Pleasure but everything has changed while he was away. The property market has shot down the tubes, which is bad news for his old associates in the drugs business. Molloy wants to go straight but it doesn't take long for his old life to come back and haunt him. Somebody wants his former boss dead and fingers are pointing at Molloy. He enlists solicitor Noelle Diggins to help him get access to his young son, born while he was on the inside, but she has her own problems. Her husband, a property mogul, has done a runner and a lot of short-changed people have good reason to track him down. Legendary crime reporter Alan Slate is keeping a watchful eye on things, but he has his own demons to battle with.

'An impressive and triumphant debut, astute in its social observations and gripping as a piece of entertainment. Mr Clifford's assured voice is a welcome addition to the canon of Irish crime fiction.' -- Irish Examiner 20120526 'A compelling odyssey into the dark heart of a country where it pays to "carry suspicion around like a spare shirt" ... Ghost Town is a journalist's book in the best sense of the word, deploying Michael Clifford's skill at reportage to forensic fictional aplomb' -- Irish Independent 20120512
