"This is a novel about religion, families, sex, guilt and joy--with a "whodunnit" narrative that keeps you reading to the last page....Iscariot promises suspense, darkness and redemption--it delivers." --Cork Examiner |

SYNOPSIS
Frank Molloy, an expatriate and a former priest, returns to Ireland, to the village of Davinkill. It is the town where he grew up, the town that decades earlier sent him out into the world as a newly ordained priest, the town that was scandalized when he left the priesthood--and the Church--and the town where his own brother has long since disowned him. Eddie Keegan, Frank's childhood friend, remained in Davinkill--and in the priesthood.. But Father Keegan looks down on his congregation, experiencing feelings of revulsion as he serves them communion. And in his haunted memory, a ghastly crime has festered for years. In Davinkill, social sanctity hides a lie. But now, past and present must meet and confront one another. Set in modern-day Ireland, Iscariot is a novel of immense power and compelling interest.
