ah, welcome to Northern Ireland and the tale of 12 ghosts

Rhis book as two different titles depending on where you live:

The Ghosts of Belfast (US Name) The Twelve UK/Ireland name).

I'm not sure what it's called in other countries but on amazon.fr, it's sold under both names in hardcopy and as The Twelve in Kindle format (ditto for amazon.de).

At one time it was slated to be made into a movie starring Pierce Brosnan, but it looks like the plans never cam to fruition.

Interview with the author here:

I found this to be an extremely noir crime book (it's not a mystery)

I've read as far as the banishing of the first ghost and the second is in the planning stages.
