This is the third bleak mystery starring Jack Taylor, an Irish ex-cop with a taste for literature who is attempting --and often failing miserably--to cope with his drug and alcohol addictions. Taylor owes Galway thug Bill Cassell a favor, and now it's payback time. Rita Monroe was one of the inmates at a Magdalen laundry, a notorious home/workhouse for unwed mothers who were often abused by the nuns who ran the place. Long ago, Rita helped Cassell's mother to escape the laundry, and now Cassell wants Jack to find the woman.
