“Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll”: Lisa McInerney intended to give this title to the trilogy that she is completing today with
The Laws of Revelation
.
In
Glorious Heresies
, we met the very young Ryan Cusack, orphaned by his Italian mother and musician, and brutalized by his alcoholic father who does not know how to express his love to him in any other way. He found refuge in sex, and in the arms of Karine D'Arcy, a young bourgeois woman whose parents had little understanding of the passion for this lost proletarian from Cork in the 2010s.
In
Miracles of the Blood
, we found Ryan who, far from his musical talents, threw himself fully into the great international drug trade, victim of the dark and ruthless Jimmy Phelan, and who went as far as Italy to obey his mentor boss. At the end of the book, he managed to reach Berlin, then Seoul, escaping Jimmy's revenge, and leaving the arms of Karine, with whom he had fathered a child.
