Joseph O'Connor
It Is The Hottest Summer In Dublin's History, and Billy Sweeney, a middle-aged salesman with a failed marriage, a faltering career and a tumbledown house, has more than the weather on his mind. His youngest daughter lies in a coma in the hospital, following a mysterious attack. Devastated by the unfolding consequences of that terrible night, frustrated by officialdom, and failed by the system, Billy finally tires of seeking legal justice. He decides to take the law into his own hands, but when his plans go spectacularly wrong, the results are terrifying, often hilarious, and in the end, unforgetabble.
