Power's début is a stark, elliptical tale which explores inconvenient truths in Dublin society, stripping away the veneer of a generation of Celtic cubs. Inspired by the manslaughter of a young man outside a Dublin nightclub in 2000, the novel examines the reverberations of that event, its genesis and aftermath. The victim, Conor Harris, his killers - three of them are charged with manslaughter - and the trial judge share common childhoods and schooling in the privileged echelons of south Dublin suburbia. The intertwining of these lives leaves their afflicted families in moral free fall as public exposure merges with private anguish and imploded futures.
