Description
DUBLIN, 1981
One cop.
One curate.
One hardman.
One boy.
When a brutal attack on a prison officer puts these four on a collision course, the outcome will be as startling as it is unsentimental. Gritty, authentic and emotionally charged, Snapshots is at once a taut crime thriller and a reflection of our world, one in which the worst human horrors are found closest to home, and the most destructive transgressions are committed behind closed doors.
About the Author: Michael O’Higgins works as a criminal lawyer, mainly on the defence side. He was called to the bar in 1987 and became a senior counsel in 2000. He previously worked as a staff journalist for Hot Press and Magill, covering crime stories and the conflict in Northern Ireland. He has twice won the Hennessy XO Literary Award (in 2008 and 2010) for his short stories. He lives with his partner Patricia, his three children, two dogs and one cat in Bray, Co Wicklow.
