The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley

A thriller, a love story and a black comedy of ill manners

By turns a black comedy, a love story, and a thriller, The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley is a surprising, compulsively readable novel.

Description

A dark and unexpected novel about a Dublin undertaker who finds himself on the wrong side of the Irish mob.

Paddy Buckley is a grieving widower who has worked for years at Gallagher's, a long-established—some say the best—funeral home in Dublin. One night, driving home after an unexpected encounter with a client, Paddy hits a pedestrian crossing the street. He pulls over and gets out of his car, intending to do the right thing. As he bends over to help the man, he recognises him. It's Donal Cullen, brother of the most notorious mobster in Dublin. And he's dead.

The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley takes you on a journey into the life of a man who, by chance, becomes intertwined with dangerous elements of the underworld, leading to suspense-filled consequences.
