Blood for Blood

By J.M. Smyth

A dark and gripping Irish crime thriller of revenge and redemption.

In 1949, Robert "Red" Donovan and his twin Sean are placed in an orphanage run by the Catholic Church. Aged nine, Red witnesses the brutal death of Sean. Consumed by vengeance, Red vows to return his body to their birthplace and make those responsible pay.

Years later, Red kidnaps the daughter of the Garda constable who put them in "care," leaving her on an orphanage's steps. But this is only the beginning. As Red's carefully laid plans unfold, a web of corruption, abuse, and family secrets is revealed, leading to a chilling climax. Will Red find redemption, or will his quest for revenge consume him entirely? A powerful novel about the monstrous by-products of a terrible system that will make the reader shiver, grieve, and think.
