Jack has not changed much since the first novel, just added coke to his alcohol addiction. He left for London at the end of his first novel, ended up married and with a coke habit. He returned to Galway, forgot to tell his mates he was married and when his wife arrived and found this out, she headed back to London and divorced him. In this novel, Sweeper, the seeming leader of the Tinkers ( Irish gypsies) comes to Jack because four Tinkers have been found dead over the past few months and the Guard seem to show little interest in finding out why. Jack follows a couple of leads, in the process beds a twenty-two-year-old, hits numerous pubs with a buddy up from London, saves some swans and blames the wrong guy for the deaths of the tinkers. He's not perfect,
