Ireland’s economic collapse hit with bewildering speed and cut deep into many lives. At a time when we most needed leadership, our politicians let us down, telling us we were all to blame for the recession and that we just needed to suffer a little pain to make everything right again. It was a Big Lie.This book offers an alternative view to the official cover story of austerity. It’s about the great majority of us who weren’t gambling with our future. It’s about what’s being done to us, who is doing it and why. It’s also about who benefits from this and who gets it in the neck. And what we might do about that.Gene Kerrigan delves deep into the muddy waters of the boom and crash, the chaos in the banks, the intervention by the troika and the erosion of democracy. He looks at how the Dáil and the media became full of mindless free market cheerleaders, how the country became laden down with unregulated bankers, and how the government acquiesced in imposing a destructive programme of austerity on the Irish people.Meanwhile, the elites in our society wrap the green flag around themselves, calling for sacrifice and patriotism, while they hold on fiercely to every perk and privilege. It’s time to tell the truth.

Danny Callaghan sitzt, nachdem er eine achtjährige Haftstrafe wegen Totschlags abgesessen hat, bei einem Bier im Blue Parrot. Als zwei Killer den Pub betreten, um den Kleinkriminellen Walter Bennett zu töten, verhilft er Bennett zu Flucht und gerät ins Kreuzfeuer. Die Polizei sucht ihn. Lar Marcendirck, einer der beiden großen Unterweltbosse, sinnt wegen der Einmischung auf Rache und der Bruder des Mannes, den Callaghan ermordert hat, will ihn ebenfalls büßen lassen. Wie schon in Die Wut zeichnet Kerrigan Roman In der Sackgasse Dublin nach dem Platzen der Immobilenblase als zerrissene Stadt, in der die Menschen auf der Suche nach Arbeit sind und sich verraten fühlen, als Ort, in der der flüchtiger Impuls, ein Leben zu retten, einem das eigene Leben kosten kann.

L''autor de The Rage presenta "una història absorbent, bellament escrita i crua sobre la detecció i la corrupció irlandesa". — The Times, Londres En Danny Callaghan acaba de sortir de la presó després de vuit anys de condemna. Un dia, quan s''està prenent una cervesa en un pub de Dublín tranquil·lament, dos pinxos perdonavides entren armats per carregar-se en Walter Bennett, un delinqüent de baixa estofa. Tot i que no hi té cap implicació, intervé per defensar-lo, però no sap que s''està enfrontant a un del grups més temuts de les màfies locals. Mentre la policia investiga els fets, en Danny serà perseguit i haurà de prendre decisions arriscades per mirar de salvaguardar els seus éssers estimats, i tot això entremig de guerres de bandes plenes de gàngsters psicòpates. El periodista Gene Kerrigan ens ofereix de nou un retrat dels baixos fons de la societat irlandesa, d''uns dies foscos per una ciutat on les onades d''immigrants, la droga i el blanqueig de diners estan a l''ordre del dia. Llegint aquest llibre, tindrem clar que cal vigilar, perquè si no controlem la nostra vida, algú altre ho farà per nosaltres."Després de The Rage, Kerrigan ofereix un altre relat negre directe i despullat, en què un exconvicte ben intencionat es veu atrapat en el parany de les circumstàncies. [...] La comprensió que té Kerrigan del Dublín contemporani i dels seus habitants del món del crim el situa a l''altura dels millors escriptors de novel·la negra irlandesos." — Booklist (crítica destacada)"Kerrigan ens mostra un Dublín que mai havíem conegut, amb una prosa clara i afilada i escenes dramàtiques perfectament delimitades sobre policies i criminals irlandesos, que ens fan témer que la pols i la brutícia que aixequen ens acabin esquitxant les sabates." — The Boston Globe"El captivador procediment policial de Kerrigan [...] és una gran notícia per als lectors que poden apreciar les complexitats morals d''aquest heroi imperfecte." — The New York Times
