The Magdalen Martyrs: A Jack Taylor Story

by KenBruen (Author)

Synopsis

In the third Jack Taylor novel from acclaimed crime writer Ken Bruen, Jack has sunk to all new lows with his alcoholism. Knowing his next visit to the hospital will be his last, his days of deep depression are punctuated only by nights of tense insomnia. But when he gets a tip off about a missing girl named Rita Monroe, his ex-cop brain pulls his body into action. Rita had been one of the Magdalen girls, a group of unmarried mothers who had been consigned into slavery in a nun-run laundry. With his uncanny ability to look in all the right places, Jack sets out on Rita's trail.
