Father, lover, murderer.

It’s 1912 and Walter Cleary is a fugitive fleeing Ireland after killing his brother-in-law.

Walter must choose between life or death, freedom or family.


Finding refuge and work in the coal mines of South Wales, Walter is caught up in a life of poverty, injustice, adultery, love and murder while enduring the merciless life of the working class.

Ensnared in a life of deception and living through some of history’s greatest tragedies, Walter’s life is altered forever as every choice drags him deeper into moral turmoil.

He must face the question, what makes a man strong? What makes a man a criminal?

    The character of Walter is beautifully, thoughtfully and eloquently written, with a true sense of understanding of the places and period that make this book truly difficult to put down. An exciting and ever evolving story line throughout the entire book make for an engaging and easy read, with each chapter gaining more anticipation and curiousity than the previous. The plot would make a fantastic movie as well.
