    De verre voortijd

    Politieman Tom Kettle is onlangs met pensioen gegaan en geniet van zijn rust in zijn nieuwe huis met uitzicht op de Ierse Zee. Maandenlang ziet hij nauwelijks een levende ziel, en vangt hij alleen af en toe een glimp op van zijn excentrieke huisbaas en de nerveuze jonge moeder die naast hem is komen wonen. Hij heeft alle tijd om te mijmeren, bijvoorbeeld over zijn geliefde vrouw June en hun kinderen. Tot twee voormalige collega’s aanbellen met vragen over een decennia oude zaak, een zaak die Tom nooit helemaal achter zich heeft kunnen laten, en hij verstrikt lijkt te raken in de duisterste uithoeken van zijn geheugen. De verre voortijd is een roman over een van de zwartste bladzijdes uit de Ierse geschiedenis, geschreven door een meesterverteller op de toppen van zijn kunnen.
