Dublin, Ireland is a city rich in character. John Doyle, second-hand bookseller, is a kind man, a noble fellow, and a lousy businessman. Mac Malone, a vagabond living rough on the streets, is a ridiculous oaf whose personality is defined by jealousy, lust, gluttony, sloth, greed, fear, and pride. As John’s passion is corrupted by outside influences, Mac runs through the city like a ramshackle knight errant, battling the Seven Deadly Sins that hold his soul hostage.

The stories of John and Mac intertwine and their adventures at times become one: the vagabond feast and the subsequent Duel To the Humiliation, an Irish bar fight that will make you want to hop the next flight to participate in one, the break-in of a spectacular castle with riotous consequences, as well as Mac’s exploits dealing with those pesky Sins...these are the tales that make up the essence of The Vagabonds of Dublin.

Throw into that mix the most important ingredient, the people, a cast of eccentrics that would make a jump from the Cliffs of Moher seem dull, and you have a wildly entertaining novel. A grand adventure, a wild ride, a humanistic comedy about the evolution of the mind and the corruption of ideals...The Vagabonds of Dublin is all of these. It’s also a fun romp in the body of a profound drama, big on heart, and chock full of laughs.
