In the Absence of Miracles
In the Absence of Miracles
`Beautiful, lyrical prose takes the reader through a perfectly constructed, often harrowing tale' Denzil Meyrick
`Engrossing, hard-hitting - even shocking - with a light poetic frosting. Another superb read!' Douglas Skelton
John Docherty's mother has just been taken into a nursing home following a massive stroke and she's unlikely to be able to live independently again.
With no other option than to sell the family home, John sets about packing up everything in the house. In sifting through the detritus of his family's past he's forced to revisit, and revise his childhood.
For in a box, in the attic, he finds undeniable truth that he had a brother who disappeared when he himself was only a toddler. A brother no one ever mentioned. A brother he knew absolutely nothing about. A discovery that sets John on a journey from which he may never recover.
For sometimes in that space where memory should reside there is nothing but silence, smoke and ash. And in the absence of truth, in the absence of a miracle, we turn to prayer. And to violence.
Shocking, chilling and heartbreakingly emotive, In the Absence of Miracles is domestic noir at its most powerful, and a sensitively wrought portrait of a family whose shameful lies hide the very darkest of secrets.
`A chilling tale of secrets, lies and the ultimate betrayal' Theresa Talbot

`Emotional. Brave. Dark. Raw. Utterly beautiful' Louise Beech
`Challenging and emotional, In the Absence of Miracles enthrals as it corkscrews to a shocking, yet ultimately rewarding end' LoveReading
`Malone's latest is an unsettling, multi-layered and expertly paced domestic noir drama that delves into one family's dark secrets, shame and lies' Culture Fly
