Oak and Stone by Dave Duggan is a literary crime thriller following a year in the troubled life of Eddie Slevin, a political ex-prisoner turned police detective in a city where stories, myths and mysteries run as fast and deep as the great River Foyle that defines it. Part of an experimental and controversial recruitment project, Eddie Slevin finds himself fast-tracked through the ranks of a revamped police force where his skills and background are both envied and sneered at. His peculiar ability to solve even the most complex cases is grudgingly applauded by colleagues and superiors. But, when a footballer is found face down on the penalty spot with a bullet in his head, Eddie’s professional and personal lives become intertwined in a whirlpool of ghosts from the past, adversaries in the present, and a looming dread in the future.
