Now she's gone from a small-time slinger of hash to a bona fide player in Dundalk's criminal underworld. Aoife's smart, savvy, and cool under pressure. Except, that is, when it comes to Annie. Annie is mysterious and compelling, and Aoife is desperate to impress her and keep her close. Unfortunately, not everyone in The Town shares Aoife's opinion of Annie. So much so that when Aoife's friend and associate, the Rat King, approaches her about off-loading ten kilos of stolen coke, he specifically tells her to keep Annie out of it. Aoife doesn't want to do the job without Annie, though, so she lands on an idea. Annie has contacts in the UK, and sure it'd be better to get the coke as far away from Dundalk as possible. At first, everything goes to plan. But when Annie decides she'd like to stay in the UK, Aoife makes a decision that changes everything, and finds her whole world turned upside down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGritty yet tender, tragic yet hopeful, \u003ci\u003eIron Annie\u003c\/i\u003e crackles with energy, warmth, and heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA VINTAGE CRIME\/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Crime\/Black Lizard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593314814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luke Cassidy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574570819765,"sku":"9780593314814","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ac3504a9-1908-496b-8ded-e8ab81a143a2.jpg?v=1643696140","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/iron-annie-9780593314814","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
