The killer couldn't have escaped Inisrun, but on-one was charged with the murder. The mystery that surrounded the death of Nessa remained hidden. But the islanders knew who to blame for the crime that changed them forever.

Doherty, Kevin

Irish Author (Inishowen, Donegal). A book is about home – how we end up staying put, as sometimes that is easier, and how we go about leaving. It follows two brothers, Dan and Cahir, during their last year at home together in Inishowen, in the north west of Ireland. It is also about good and bad and the certainty that people have that they are doing the right thing. The author lives in Inishowen - Donegal, where he manages a shop with his brother. Before that he studied medicine in Belfast. Penny Baps is Kevin's first book, which he worked on during the Stinging Fly creative writing course with author Mia Gallagher. Touches of Donal Ryan’s The Spinning Heart but more insular in feel and scope.
