Produktbeschreibung

A family quest that spans two generations comes to a dramatic conclusion on the Canary Islands in the present day...

1975: Jewels belonging to the Virgin of the Pine disappear from the Teror basilica on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria. The perpetrator is never found.

2011: An innovative young chef Gregory Sheridan is delighted to land himself a new job on Gran Canaria. He loves the climate, the people, the culture and the language. But when he tells his mother back in England the good news, he is shocked to learn that his own unspoken family history may be tied up with that robbery.

Was his father really a gangster, as Gregory had always been told? Was he responsible for that terrible crime? What really happened on that hot Sunday night in the Canary Islands?

Autorenporträt

Gerard O'Keeffe was born and brought up in the Midlands and studied Irish and American literature in London before qualifying as a teacher. He switched careers to business and marketing across the charity sector, where he worked with leading social enterprises, cultural and educational providers. He continues to work in consultancy, education and on creative projects with new talent.

Coming from a family with Irish roots, he has written and painted since his teenage years, as have his siblings. In his writing he often changes genre but is particularly interested in themes of trauma, silence and salvation. Much of his fiction has its basis in fact and he uses research and real events as the springboard for his work. He lives with his family in Cambridge where he enjoys collecting contemporary art, working with other writers and attending arts events.
