‘None of us involved in this are safe, do you realise that? I don’t feel safe. Since I stepped off the fuckin’ plane in Cork last night, I haven’t felt safe.’
Noelie Sullivan, disaffected ex-punk and grassroots activist, has every reason to be afraid. His investigation into Danesfort Industrial School and the boys who went missing from it is attracting attention. Special Branch want him to disappear and he’s made enemies of the powerful Walsh and Donnelly families.
But Noelie is determined to get to the truth. He won’t walk away. At least that’s what he tells himself until his friends and family start paying the price.
A River of Bodies is the gripping sequel to To Keep A Bird Singing and the second part of Kevin Doyle’s Solidarity Books trilogy.
‘An impressive and thrilling debut that looks corruption in the eye and never blinks.’

When Noelie Sullivan finds his stolen punk records for sale in a charity shop in Cork, it seems like a lucky break. But Noelie has just made himself and those closest to him a target.
Hidden among the records is a statement alleging that missing local man, Jim Dalton,
was murdered by the security services twenty years ago to protect a high-ranking
informer in the IRA. In spite of himself, Noelie gets drawn into the story of Dalton’s disappearance and uncovers a link between the missing man and a powerful family of brothers, who have ties to a former industrial school.
Noelie’s every move takes him deeper into danger. What price will he pay for the truth?
