Colin Walsh Discusses "Kala" at Waterstones Liverpool

Waterstones Liverpool are thrilled to welcome Colin Walsh who joins us to discuss his best-selling and prizewinning debut novel "Kala"
Following three old friends reunited in their hometown on the Irish west coast as chilling secrets from their past start to unravel, Walsh’s atmospheric thriller is drenched in suspense and populated with richly drawn characters. A gripping literary page-turner from a rising Irish talent in which former friends, estranged for fifteen years, reckon with the terrifying events of the summer that changed their lives.

In the seaside town of Kinlough, on Ireland's west coast, three old friends are thrown together for the first time in years. They - Helen, Joe and Mush - were part of an original group of six inseparable teenagers in the summer of 2003, with motherless, reckless Kala Lanann as their group's white-hot centre. Soon after that summer's peak, Kala disappeared without a trace.

Now it's fifteen years later: Helen has reluctantly returned to Ireland for her father's wedding; Joe is a world-famous musician, newly back in town; and Mush has never left, too scared to venture beyond the counter of his mother's cafe. But human remains have been discovered in the woods. Two more girls have gone missing. And as past and present begin to collide, the estranged friends are forced to confront their own complicity in the events that led to Kala's disappearance, and to try to stop Kinlough's violent patterns repeating themselves once again...
