A stunning debut novel about war and loss, male friendship and the power of home.

After three years embedded in the Siege in Sarajevo, war correspondent Tom returns to Dublin a haunted shell of his former self. Laughably unqualified, but determined to see him through the darkness, his childhood friends Karl and Baz embark on a journey for an unlikely cure, to an experimental Californian clinic called Restless Souls. But as they try to save Tom from his memories, they are forced to confront their own - of what happened to the lost member of their group, Gabriel.

Industry Reviews

Ambitious, rambunctious and extremely accomplished . . . full of vibrant wise-cracking energy, can turn on a dime into a controlled lyricism befitting serious subjects such as PTSD, mental health and the nature of masculinity - SUNDAY TIMES

RESTLESS SOULS is a hilariously shambolic road trip, a moving, freaked out, at times bruisingly mordant examination of the purgatorial agonies of PTSD, and above all a bawdy, alive, profane panegyric to the indissoluble bonds of friendship - Colin Barrett, author of YOUNG SKINS, Winner of the Guardian First Book Award

At turns comedic, at turns literary, at turns thriller, at turns philosophical, RESTLESS SOULS never stops being a page-turner . . . A great debut

A terrific debut novel, bold and wise, each page lit with wit and with feeling.
- Jonathan Lee, author of HIGH DIVE
