General Fiction Book of the Month – February 2020

The Ghost Factory is the story of two friends growing up in Belfast, where ”the Troubles” are coming to an end, but the loyalist and provo gangs still exert control via organised crime syndicates and punishment beatings. Jacky tries to come to terms with the attack of his best friend (by just such a gang) by running away to London, but is soon forced to face the bullies who still menace a city scarred by conflict.
