More About This Title Creatures of Habit
- English
English
Two boys flee in terror across the grounds of their boarding school, on a night when the rain slices the air like sheets of broken glass and trees bend and groan under gale-force winds. Before midnight one will die, exposing a dark world, centuries old. Emmet Joyce rejects the school’s assertion that his son died accidentally. With a Church surrounded by scandal, cover-ups within the Church, and failures to protect children in their care, the priests who run the school no longer command the unquestioning trust of their flock. Emmet trusts only one man to uncover the truth: his cousin, Ed Burke. But Ed is now in Florida, recovering from stress and burn-out in his New York law practice, and a failed attempt to start again in Ireland. Despite his reluctance to return to Ireland, Ed knows that he can’t refuse his family at this time of need. So Ed Burke returns again to find that the Ireland of the twenty-first century is still the Ireland of James Joyce where ‘Christ and Caesar go hand in glove’. His quest for the truth leads him from Galway and Dublin to Boston and Rome, following a trail enmeshed in one family’s desire to occupy the chair of Peter, a desire under threat from that dark world, centuries old. But an avenger stalks the land, one who exacts justice at the end of a rope, one who seeks revenge, not truth. Ed knows that all roads lead to Rome and he also knows that, if he is to uncover what really happened to his cousin’s son, he must protect the guilty.

'Creatures of Habit is a spine-chilling, epic depiction of the murderous consequences
of clerical abuse. Pat Mullan takes us into the evil heart of a web of secrecy and machination
at the power-base of the Vatican. He opens our eyes to the truths we would prefer not to know,
and, at the mercy of his Avenger, we are made to face up to the unimaginable.
Mullan has done his research thoroughly and packs it, with great expertise, into a breath-taking thriller that is
impossible to walk away from.' John Walsh, Doire Press.
Make sure you have time available when you start reading this book, as it is one you will have difficulty putting down before it's finished. Pat Mullan takes his reader on a breathtaking journey from Miami to Dublin, on to rural Ireland and Rome, one engaging atmospheric location after another. For escapism you couldn't ask for better, Solicitor .Ed Burke, well-known to readers of Pat Mullan's "Last Days of the Tiger", is in hot pursuit of a priest suspected of causing the death of Ed's young nephew at his boarding school. The same event has prompted someone with a more sinister agenda to mete out some divine justice, and the grim body count is mounting...THE COUNTESS OF RODEN
Under the guise of writing a very fast moving and gripping thriller Pat Mullan has written a historical treatise on the role of church and state in Ireland and the corruption that has developed over the years, especially in the physical and sexual abuse of children. Pat Mullan's passion and knowledge of the subject is encapsulated in his 'hero' Ed Burke who takes us from Ireland to America to Rome in his search for justice and on the trail of a deranged priest who has become 'the avenger'! Thriller and historical novel combined - a great read! Also a great read
