For three years Twenty Major has written a daily blog. Now though comes a tale so bizarre and abominable that mere words on a computer screen wouldnt have been able to do it justice. These words need to be on paper …





When Twenty Major’s friend, record-shop-owner Tom OFarrell is brutally shot in the stomach, his dying act was to scrawl the number 60 in blood on his chest and dial Twenty’s number into his phone. When Twenty is called to the scene of the crime he hasnt a clue why Tom was trying to contact him or what the hell the number 60 means. But himself and Tom go back a long way and he vows to find Tom’s killer.





Then things take a turn for the worse: Folkapalooza is announced – a massive free concert due to take place in the Phoenix Park with headlining acts Damien Rice, James Blunt and David Gray.





Something is wrong, really wrong. Why are people obsessed with Folkapalooza? What has turned the Goths outside the Central Bank into acoustic loving drips? Who is the ginger albino and how does it all link to Tom?





Can Twenty, Jimmy the Bollix, Stinking Pete, Dirty Dave, Lucky and even Ron himself, save the people of Dublin and, less importantly, the rest of Ireland, from a fate that is, quite literally, worse than death? And solve a murder along the way?

Sunday Tribune
'Endlessly surrealy and brilliantly offensive ... the anti-Ross O'Carroll Kelly. A crude comic genius.'
The Sunday Times
Brendan Behan for the internet generation
The Dubliner
'The child of Wodehouse, Python and, especially, Flann O'Brien.'
Hot Press
'Wickedly funny ... gleefully silly ... highly entertaining.'
