About This Book

Bishop's Delight, set in the confident Ireland of the Celtic Tiger, meditates on the difficulty of separating truth from lies in the frenzy that is the media. When long-serving and charismatic Taoiseach Jim Maguire vanishes while fishing off the Connemara coastline, two rival journalists, Kevin Woody and Tony Sweetman, compete to establish the truth and question the sinister forces that may be at work surrounding Maguire's disappearance. As Woody and Sweetman negotiate their troublesome personal lives while making every effort to keep the story of Maguire's disappearance alive for another day, the uneasy conflict between the old Ireland of stable belief and the new Ireland of questioning uncertainty is exposed.
