World Without End, Amen: A Novel

Adrift in New York, an alcoholic cop searches for meaning in his life by revisiting his past

The department has taken away Dermot Daveyâ€™s gun. After countless incidents of excessive force and on-the-job drunkenness, and one harrowing moment where he nearly killed a civilian, the New York Police Department has dumped him on the â€œBow and Arrow Squadâ€â€”the home for alcoholic cops unfit to carry firearms. Without his pistol, Dermot feels like heâ€™s hardly a cop. As his marriage tanks, Dermot drinks, and considers ending it all. But everything changes when he learns about his dad.
Â
Dermotâ€™s father disappeared when he was a child, leaving Dermotâ€™s mother to raise him alone. Now Dermot hears word that his old man has surfaced in Ulster, the heart of the increasingly bloody Irish Troubles. Hoping to find redemption, he travels to Ireland to meet his father. What he finds is a war-torn, deadly placeâ€”a brutish, ugly city that is nevertheless no uglier than the darkness inside his own soul.
