  The year is 1925. In the borderlands of a newly partitioned Ireland, a doctor new to Northern Ireland begins a search for a missing patient, a young girl who has fallen pregnant.
   
  Meeting a wall of silence, she enlists the help of a local, a former IRA volunteer recently released from jail. Their enquiry brings them into contact with a community still suffering from the wounds of civil war. More worrying for them, they find they are beginning to rattle skeletons
   that some powerful people would prefer went undisturbed.
   
  As they slowly begin to unravel the truth of the girl’s fate, they find that the traces they are following lead to some crimes more monstrous that they ever previously considered.
   
  
   
  “Some Service to the State is a superb book with dialogue that would not be out of place on the stage of the Abbey Theatre. Mick McAlinden is a former IRA man caught on the wrong side of the border and the wrong side of history: a law student who ends up working in an abattoir. Aidan McQuade has created a character whose travails highlight the thwarted dreams and the tragedy of partition for so many people in post-revolutionary Ireland.”
   
  - Ronan McGreevy, journalist and author of Great Hatred: the Assassination of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson.
   
  “Like Graham Greene, Dennis Lehane, and Louise Penny before him, McQuade takes the humble crime story and uses it like a scalpel to probe and expose the darkness in human souls and human society.”
   
  - Martin W. Sandler, National Book Award-winning author and historian.
   
  “The sparring sparky dialogue is a delight and never fails to vivify the darkness. McQuade shows prodigious skill in shining a spotlight on the scandal of mother-and-baby homes and in brilliantly imbuing the past with his own potent blend of heart, soul and wit.”
   
  - Rosemary Jenkinson, multi-award winning playwright and author of Marching Season.

  A powerful chronicle of moral courage, human resilience, and the haunting choices made during history's darkest days. 
  As World War II reaches its final, desperate throes, Captain Edward Hume and his battle-hardened squad of bomb disposal experts—the Kaboom Boys—move methodically through the shattered remnants of Europe. While working to maintain steady hands and unwavering focus, they neutralize the silent killers left in war's wake, each defused bomb a small victory against chaos. 
  As the Allies liberate France, Hume finds an unexpected connection in a field hospital—a sharp-witted, dedicated Army nurse named Virginia who sees the man beneath the uniform. Their paths cross again in newly freed Paris, where war momentarily fades into something resembling a future. 
  But war does not wait for love. 
  Duty calls the Kaboom Boys back to the front, and deeper into Nazi Germany, where the devastation left in the war’s wake is impossible to ignore. Their journey brings them to Dachau as they are tasked with aiding in the camp’s liberation. The team quickly realizes that the terror and reality of the place are beyond anything they have seen or known before. And there, among the survivors and remnants of suffering, The Kaboom Boys meet a man whose inner strength defies the very war meant to break him: The Blacksmith of Dachau. 
  From Elaine Hume Peake and Don Keith comes a powerful and deeply human story of courage, survival, and the choices that define us. The Blacksmith of Dachau is a testament to the power of the human spirit—even in history’s most tragic setting.
