After a period of imprisonment, Nealon returns to an empty house in the west of Ireland to find his wife and young son missing. Then he gets a call from a man who claims to know what’s happened to them—a man who’ll tell Nealon all he needs to know in return for a single meeting. In a hotel lobby, in the shadow of an unfolding terrorist attack, Nealon and the man embark on a conversation shot through with secrets and unknown dangers, a verbal game of cat and mouse that ranges from Nealon’s past and crimes to Ireland’s place in the world order to the location of his family.

Teri Campbell is on the run, on a bus ride to nowhere. An unscheduled stop on the windblown plains of Wyoming leaves her at M&J's Truck Stop...and in the arms of Mike Gallagher, the young trucker who appoints himself her protector, who understands her as no one else could. But will her new life and her newfound love be enough when events take an unexpected turn? And can even Mike keep her safe from the past that threatens to reclaim her?

In this gothic, virtuoso debut collection, Mike McCormack dispenses nightmares both stylish and macabre.

These sly and dangerous stories show us a young writer who was already a master of wicked formal play, and whose sly takes on life and death remain profoundly unsettling.

McCormack was asked two questions by his children that unerringly targeted issues he had struggled with his entire life: "Who are you?" and "What is life about?" Hatching Charlie, his attempt to respond, rocketed him down a wormhole through time, his past made present.

Harry knows the village well - it was there that he met the woman whose love and betrayal have haunted him every day since.
