In 1948, crime novelist Raymond Chandler meets philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein in a remote corner of County Galway. As the two notoriously-reclusive men develop an unlikely friendship, they stumble into a conspiracy that involves former Nazis, the US House Un-American Activities Committee, and a cat belonging to the widow of William Butler Yeats.
“It’s a rare mind that would think of weaving Wittgenstein and Raymond Chandler into a mystery story set in the West Of Ireland; it’s a gifted writer who could spin a tale like this, one that deftly engages the reader in search of quality entertainment, and at the same time teases and flatters the well-read bibliomaniac. This book is a gem and a joy. Bravo the author.”
– Theo Dorgan, author of Nine Bright Shiners and Once Was a Boy
