A Loss of Youth

Joe " Spider" Bannion is a man haunted by his past. A man who seems caught in the twilight world between life and a world beyond. Spider is a man who is on intimate terms with death and he has trodden the dark path and rubbed shoulders with evil. His actions have condemned him to a lonely existence in the shadowy fringes of life. His only constant companions are his ex wife and his long suffering ex partner. They are the only ones he allows to become close to him. Then again he has little choice in that, as they are ghosts from his past. They are both dead as a direct result of his actions and they come and go in his world as they choose.
From a glittering career as a police detective in Dublin to a lowly free lance private detective, working the sordid world of divorce cases in London. His escape from his violent past and his own actions have brought him to the bottom of the slippery slope.
