New Town Soul

Shane is Joey’s new best friend, with a personality for every occasion and a strange sense of recklessness. Joey longs to get close to Geraldine, but she won’t have anything to do with him while Shane is around. Is Geraldine right to suspect that Shane is weaving a net of evil around them? And who is the strange old man who seems to know more about Shane than anyone? What secret will Joey unearth in a derelict house in Blackrock?

New Town Soul is a supernatural thriller in a very real world – it is about the freedom of being young and the enslavement of being immortal.
