Eoin McNamee

Cati, the Bold Watcher listeners met in The Navigator, returns from the shadows of time to summon Owen and Dr. Diamond, for time is literally running out. The moon is coming closer to the Earth, causing havoc with weather, tides, and other natural cycles....

A truck driver in Ireland gives a lift to a female Asian hitchhiker but gets more than he bargained for, especially when his truck is stopped by immigration officers....

One day the world around Owen shifts oddly: Time flows backwards, and the world and family he knew disappear....

In this harrowing, haunting debut novel by one of Ireland's most acclaimed writers, Eoin McNamee conjures a dreamlike appraisal of the roots of violence, in a city where reality has long since succumbed to the lure of conspiracy and paranoia.
