Cover image from the book by Kevin Doyle, To Keep a Bird from Singing

Just finished To Keep a Bird from Singing by @caoimhindoyle.bsky.social - a really good, pacy, multilayered crime novel with great characters and bags of intrigue and skullduggery. I always knew anarchists would make the best crime writers! Recommended.
