1980s Ireland is economically on its knees and so are Mike Stone and his crew—eight construction workers on their uppers, struggling to stay afloat. Hired to renovate a derelict old hotel, once a grand British landlord era estate house, they soon find their real problems go far beyond bricks and mortar. A hidden tunnel leading from the hotel to a nearby estate across the fields, secret surveillance wires in the old cellar bar, and chilling videotapes hint at something far more sinister. When they uncover the former hotel owner's links to Sinn Féin—the political wing of the Irish Republican Army—the shadow of the IRA looms large, and the job turns deadly. Darkly comic and packed with intrigue, Sláinte! The Athlone Job is a wild tale of loyalty, danger, and survival.
