A delightfully dry take on the spy novel.
The Irish Times
About Station to Station
Quixotic junior Irish diplomat Jack Lennon is posted to Spain in 2008 as the wheels are coming off the Spanish – and Irish – property boom. When a visiting government minister gives him the slip, Seville government press officer Teresa Paz helps him. Together they pursue John Paul Grealish through the southern coast and are led to the secretive Playa de los Alemanes. They encounter a coterie of Ireland’s ‘wine geese’, jaded celebrities, desperate bankers and an unusual property development. Ten years later, Jack is on his knees on a remote monastic island in Donegal, still trying to work out exactly what happened.
