The Devil I Know

by Claire Kilroy

Paperback

There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile. He made a crooked deal and he blew a crooked pile. He dug a crooked hole and he sank the crooked isle, and they all went to hell in a stew of crooked bile.

Tristram St Lawrence has returned to Dublin after a period of self-imposed exile, to a city bristling with greed and hubris, as the international debt crisis brews. In the form of a mysterious testimony, he recounts being drawn into acting as middleman on a business deal, trapped by a grotesque builder he's known since childhood on one hand, and a shadowy businessman he's never met on the other. As their overblown property development begins, we follow Tristram's dawning realisation that all is not well. . .
