Bogmail (Flamingo S.) - Softcover
A truly funny and stunningly well-told tale of murder in a small Irish village in Donegal, Bogmail is a classic of modern Irish literature. Set in a remote village, the action begins with a murder when Roarty, a publican and former priest, kills his bartender then buries his body in a bog. It's not long before Roarty starts getting blackmail letters, and matters quickly spiral out of his control. Twisty, turny and enlivened with colour that echoes the landscape and surroundings, Bogmail was Patrick McGinley's first novel, yet it remains just as fresh today as the day it first appeared.

Review:
A horrific concoction of filth ... a picture of life in Donegal that is revolting in the extreme. Virtual pornography veneered with the assumption of literary value. A shocking libel. --Donegal Democrat
Dark, twisted and blackly hilarious ... --Declan Burke
A rich and loving novel, Bogmail is full of wonder --New York Magazine
