IRISH GOODBYE
by Tom Dugan
In a small New Jersey pub, on the other side of the train tracks that cut through the back of St. Gertrude’s Catholic Cemetery, two desperate strangers—a disgraced cop and an ex-beauty queen—take shelter from a frigid storm and struggle to forge an unlikely bond one lonely Christmas Eve—oh, and it’s also funny.
From the creator of CEMETERY PUB, WIESENTHAL, and TELL HIM IT’S JACKIE comes Tom Dugan’s latest dark comedy, IRISH GOODBYE—hailed by critics as “genius,” “hilarious,” and “wonderful.”
