 Beautiful beaches, sexy young backpackers, cheap drinks: southern Thailand in the mid-1990s is the perfect place for a holiday.
It's also the perfect place for Billy - Loyalist hard man, NO SURRENDER chest tattoo, on the run from the Belfast police - to lie low. He's turning away from a life of crime, but isn't sure where to go.
A series of fights and one-night stands helps put his troubles out of mind for a while. But when Billy ends up in a Buddhist retreat he learns that no matter how far you travel, your past will always catch up with you.

There is no denying Flynn’s ability to write well and enter the psyche of such a character. But overall there was little here to make me care about this narrator, no matter how strong his convictions.
