In 1949, on the night of their birth, Robert "Red" Donovan and his twin Sean are placed in an orphanage run by the Catholic Church, and given the name Dock. Aged nine, Red witnesses the kicking to death of Sean by a Christian Brother. At his twin's deathbed, he vows to one day return his body to their birthplace for reburial. Red's life is consumed by this vow. It is his driving force to the exclusion of all else. His family, and a garda constable Winters who put the twins into "care," will be made to pay. Aged 21, Red Dock kidnaps Winters' newborn daughter and leaves her on the steps of an orphanage to be raised by nuns who name her Lucille Kells. But this is not his revenge. Not yet. Revenge will come 22 years later, after Lucille has left the nuns. A powerful novel about monstrous by-products of a terrible system that will make the reader shiver, grieve, and think.
