Do I like SAINTS REST by @lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social? Why yes, I do. Also his two previous books, BLACKLION and FOXHUNT, all from Baraka Books.

The cover of Saints Rest by Luke Francis Beirne. The cover features a grainy cityscape on the lower-half with the title "Saints Rest" displayed prominently at the top.

@lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social's neo-noir SAINTS REST (Baraka Books) is a gripping page-turner set in the gritty streets of Saint John, where a P.I. is pulled into a murder case that reveals deep undercurrents of corruption and control.

Why the síneadh fada (the accents over #Irishlanguage
vowels) matter:

Órla (name) - Orla (vomit)
Tonóg (a duck) - Tónóg (small-arsed)
Cráic (anus) - Craic (i.e. havin' the craic)
Anás (poverty) - Anas (Anus)
Steámar (stale piss) - Steamar (scrap of)
Cáca (cake) - Caca (shit)
