Book Summary
A tense, thrilling debut novel that spans two
continents, from "a writer to watch out for" (Colum
McCann).
It's 1832 and Coll Coyle has killed
the wrong man. The dead man's father is an expert tracker
and ruthless killer with a single-minded focus on vengeance.
The hunt leads from the windswept bogs of County Donegal,
across the Atlantic to the choleric work camps of the
Pennsylvania railroad, where both men will find their fates
in the hardship and rough country of the fledgling United
States.
Language and landscape combine powerfully in
this tense exploration of life and death, parts of which are
based on historical events. With lyrical prose balancing the
stark realities of the hunter and the hunted, RED SKY IN
MORNING is a visceral and meditative novel that marks the
debut of a stunning new talent.
