To Keep a Bird Singing Summary

To Keep a Bird Singing: He Knows it's a Cover-Up, but Can He Prove it? by Kevin Doyle

`An impressive and thrilling debut that looks corruption in the eye and never blinks.' DAVID PARK When Noelie Sullivan finds his stolen punk records for sale in a charity shop in Cork, it seems like a lucky break. But Noelie has just made himself and those closest to him a target. Hidden among the records is a statement alleging that missing local man, Jim Dalton, was murdered by the security services twenty years ago to protect a high-ranking informer in the IRA. In spite of himself, Noelie gets drawn into the story of Dalton's disappearance and uncovers a link between the missing man and a powerful family of brothers, who have ties to a former industrial school. Noelie's every move takes him deeper into danger. What price will he pay for the truth?

To Keep a Bird Singing Reviews

Exchange Place is exactly what you want from a novel: a thrilling story steeped in intrigue which at the same time challenges and entertains.
a master study in the nature of identity
Carson is a great carthographer of Northern Irish literature
Exchange Place is gloriously uncategorisable. Robbe Grillet would have welcomed it, as would Queneau and Perec, but Hammett and Chandler too would have tipped the brims of their trilbys in salute. A wonderful intellectual romp. -- John Banville
