For those of you who like stories of characters involved in compromising situations, there's a lot of that in this book. It would be tough to categorize it in a specific genre but it doesn't seem to belong under "mystery."Mal leaves his family home in Ireland to find work in Dublin. Things don't appear to be going in his favor until at a grungy pub someone approaches him with an offer of work. The offer seems too good to be true and he soon discovers he's in over his head with the wrong people.The book seemed to go on for ages though it's not at all tiresome.  It is a bit over the top when his less than stellar past is accepted without any challenge from those he's now involved with. Relationships were restored way too easily. The police detective assigned to look into a mail bomb readily allows Mal to become involved in matters best left to the authorities.There is a bit of a twist at the end. All in all, a decent read. I'd probably rate it a 3.5.
