Hot Press Father’s Day Gift Guide: Kevin Power, White City

From the highly acclaimed author of Bad Day In Blackrock - inspiration for the 2012 award-winning film What Richard Did - comes a darkly funny, and gripping novel about a life spinning out of control.

Ben, the only son of a rich South Dublin banker, is in rehab after being cut off at the age of 27 from his family’s privilege. After floundering through a world of drugs and dead-end jobs, Ben runs into an old school friend who wants to cut him in on a scam: a shady property deal in the Balkans. Will the move solve all of his problems or will the Serbian gangsters take him for a ride?

Kevin Power's Celtic Tiger caper White City is a marvellously entertaining novel, with a cast of characters that "you’d cross the road to hit with a stick."
