"Fast-paced and utterly immersive, with passages that will have your heart leaping into your throat. This is ‘Breath’ meets ‘The Beach’, but also a unique tale in its own right that will stay with the reader long after they read the last page."

Eileen Merriman, best-selling author of Violet Black and The Silence of Snow.

Twenty-six-year-old Jimmy Brennan’s life has taken a turn for the worse, and he’s desperate to numb the pain. When his mother dies and his girlfriend betrays him with his oldest friend, it's the final straw; Jimmy leaves Australia behind him, bound for Bali.
But Jimmy’s demons chase him. Sickened by the rapacious tourists which overrun the Indonesian holiday island, he escapes north up the archipelago, driven by a desire for solitude and possessed by a reckless, self-destructive urge.
When he’s offered the opportunity to visit the forbidden island of North Sentinel, home of a forgotten tribe which has violently rejected outside contact for centuries, Jimmy takes it.
He finds his piece of paradise, but it’s a decision that will have deadly consequences.

"The tension builds like a looming closeout set at Mullaghmore."
Luke Kennedy, editor, Tracks magazine

I go around to the back of the Jeep to get my wetsuit, and I see all twenty packages of cocaine heaped carelessly in the back, the popped black balloons still attached to them. I can’t believe Anto has just left them there like that. I can even see the ragged hole he put in one of them, and it scares the hell out of me. Not for the first time, I wonder how I ended up here.

Half a world from home, Sam falls under the spell of the wild surf of the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and the free-spirited and charismatic Anto. He quits his travels, and opts to stay.

But living on the smell of an oily rag, Sam soon needs money, and he can’t resist the temptation when Anto offers easy cash to pick up the offshore shipments of cocaine for a brutal Dublin criminal gang.

But when Sam makes an error of judgement, he sets in motion a series of events which spiral out of control, and he's caught in the middle.
