The hapless inhabitants of Killoyle, Ireland, face all manner of chaos in this comic novel from an author "capable of spinning a fabulous yarn" ( Minnesota Daily). After local lush Mick McCreek gets into a car crash with a cross-dressing church sexton, he enlists the help of a lawyer, Tom O'Mallet. As it turns out, the lawyer's real gig is selling missiles to an IRA splinter group, and he plans to use his clueless client as a patsy. O'Mallet also hoodwinks Anil, an Indian waiter who has found himself the unlikely target of a manhunt. What Tom doesn't know is that his lucrative weapons are destined for a massive terrorist attack on the Pint-Pulling Olympiad, and that Anil's sexy cousin Rashmi—a sweatshop worker turned intelligence operative—is hot on the bombers' trail. With a wink and a nudge, Roger Boylan's pyrotechnic prose brings to life Ireland at its manic extremes, proving the author a dazzling and distinctive talent in American fiction.
