Description
This pacy urban thriller is the US debut for an award-winning Irish author.
Joey’s stepdad, Vinnie, ran away from Dublin over a year ago. Now he’s back, and everyone wants to know if he’s still a wolf.
Joey wants to believe Vinnie has given up his dodgy ways and returned to be near his family. But he’s in no hurry to meet him. With his girlfriend going to Trinity College and his new start living with his aunt, Joey is trying to move on.
But fate doesn’t sit on a fence and Joey will have to confront his own painful past and the role his stepdad played in it.
