The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville

The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville, Thriller with a dash of horror, 323 pages
This was a very good read. The characters are all solid and believable, even the most despicable of them show flashes of humor and humanity. None of the characters flinch at much. Fegan, the main character flinches at nothing. He was a very bad man, and what he has done troubles him deeply. The ghosts of his victims haunt him and harp at him until he can drink enough to pass out. While he's drinking, he talks to the ghosts and that worries his former IRA comrades. What the ghosts tell him to do worries them more and sends the book on a mad, bloody path. --Patrick
