Summary

THE NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER - AND THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE ROSS O'CARROLL-KELLY FAN IN YOUR LIFE!

'The name's O'Carroll-Kelly. Ross O'Carroll-Kelly.'


As the great James Bond said, 'History isn't kind to men who play God.' How right the dude ended up being.

My secret double-life was finally catching up with me. Sorcha wanted a divorce. I was facing jail time for taking my orse out in a pub in Cork. And there was a very good chance that my sister-in-law's surrogate baby was actually mine?

One by one, all of the goys turned their backs on me.

Then came an unexpected plot twist. From beyond the grave, Fr Fehily - the M and the Q to our Leinster Schools Senior Cup-winning team - sent us all on one final mission . . .

To walk the Camino - or die trying!

It's, like, double oh fock!
