Someone is scraping the scum off the streets of Galway and they want Jack Taylor to get involved. A drug pusher a rapist a loan shark all targeted in what look like vigilante attacks. And the killer is writing to Jack signing their name: C-33.
Jack has had enough. He doesn't need the money and doesn't want to get involved. But when his friend Stewart gets drawn in it seems he isn't been given a choice. In the meantime Jack is being courted by Reardon a charismatic billionaire intent on buying up much of Galway and begins a tentative relationship with Reardon's PR director Kelly.
Caught between heaven and hell there's only one path for Jack Taylor to take: Purgatory.
