THE World’s End’ is the debut novel from Limerick writer Karen Fitzgibbon which will be launched with a book signing at O’Mahony’s Bookshop this Thursday May 2 (at 6.30pm).
This exciting thriller is the first in a series introducing Private Investigator Lana Bowen. Award winning author Donal Ryan called The World’s End, “addictively tense, the definition of a page turner.”
The story begins on the west coast. On a beautiful bank holiday weekend in May, Grace Doran, and her friend Sarah travel to the seaside village of Castle Cove. They have been invited to stay in a luxurious summerhouse, The World’s End, with Sarah’s boyfriend and some of his friends.
After a night of partying and sizzling temptation, they hire a boat and sail to a nearby island. Five go out, but only four return.
One year later, Private Investigator Lana Bowen journeys to the seaside resort to try to piece together the catastrophic events that happened the summer before.
The PI uncovers a web of deceit, betrayal, and a sinister undercurrent.
All the characters in this story have their secrets as the reader is drawn into their world.
