Blood from a Shadow by Gerard Cappa
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI reader, 953 kb
Overview: “Israeli death squads, Iranian Quds Force bombers, Turkish Mafya – the clueless and hopeless Maknazpy is selected as the perfect fall guy to lever American opinion the right way. They just didn’t figure on the ghosts of Irish history that were always in his shadow.”
“A delicious hocus of old school convoluted, reader-manipulating, treachery-dripping, double-dealing thrill fest shot through with just enough Irish melancholy and regret to raise it above the usual formula driven fare we are becoming all too used to”
“Blood From A Shadow is an interesting book that attempts an new approach to the conspiracy action thriller, but even read on this surface level alone, it’s written in a way that delivers thrills without insulting your intelligence. Cappa however hints that there is a parallel reading to be found here with the book of Irish legends featuring the mythical hero Cú Chulainn, known as the Táin. Those references aren’t obvious or belabored however, the novel drawing from them rather in order to examine wider questions on the need for heroes and on the attributes of bonds of loyalty to friends, to a cause or to an ideal that goes beyond consideration of duty or political gain.
Whether it’s through this literary subtext or whether it’s through the strengths in the writing itself, Blood From A Shadow does have an indefinable quality and true originality, finding a way to delve into a particularly Irish sensibility that has deep historical and mythological roots in its connection with the United States, and it places an unusual spin on a conventional genre that at times gives it an almost otherworldly quality.
