Three brothers are at the funeral. One lies in the coffin. 
 
 
Will, Brian and Luke grow up competing for their mother's unequal love. As men, the competition continues - for status, money, fame, women . . . 
 
 
They each betray each other, over and over, until one of them is dead. 
 
 
But which brother killed him?

'Liz Nugent is a force to be reckoned with' Lisa Jewell 
 
'Brilliantly observed family life and a plot that is part rollercoaster, part maze. Loved it!' Graham Norton 
 
'MAGNIFICENT. Her best yet, and that's really saying something' Marian Keyes
