In the Country of Shadows

Exit Unicorns, Book 4

By: Cindy Brandner

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

From the author of the award-winning Flights of Angels comes the fourth book in the Exit Unicorns series.

It is the winter of 1975 in Northern Ireland, and the Troubles are at their darkest hour. Casey Riordan is missing, and Jamie Kirkpatrick has just returned home from two years in a Russian gulag.

Desperate to find her missing husband, Pamela Riordan makes a devil’s bargain with the one man she believes can help her, forming an alliance which will have grave consequences for her and those she loves.

For Pamela and her family, caught in the quagmire of 800 years’ worth of hate and betrayal, compromise - both that of body and soul - is inevitable. All of them face an uncertain future in Northern Ireland - a country of shadows, where nothing is as it seems, and the slightest misstep can have deadly consequences.

Shimmering historical detail and masterful storytelling combine in a tale which sweeps us across continents and seas from the bloody events of the Troubles to the rough streets of post-Vietnam San Francisco, and make this fourth book a journey of both turbulent intensity and heartbreaking choices.

fantastic story@

I love this series about Ireland in the 70's! The Audible version is better than reading it yourself.

Wonderful story wonderfully told

Delighted to have the fourth book in this series finally on audible. Gary Furlong does a great job with a compelling story.

Amazing, again!!!

Cindy is one of my favorite writers. I’ve read all of her books multiple times. But there is something about when you listen to Gary read them that add even more life to the books. Truly amazing!

Riveting

Cindy has done it again with another breathtaking installment in the Exit Unicorns saga. I am enthralled with her writing, the poetry, the visual nature of the interactions. I feel like I am in the scenes, they are so real to me. Gary’s narration is top-notch as well, switching back and forth between Irish, English, American, Russian, and French accents conversationally. It’s always clear which character is speaking from the tone of his voice. When listening to this book, my mind was completely carried away into another time, another life. I think that’s the highest achievement a book can bring a reader. Superb.

What's left to say? Brilliant as always!

If you're purchasing this audiobook, there isn't much more to say about the brilliance of Cindy and Gary that hasn't already been said. Being the 4th book in the series, I don't need to go over the plot. Just know that this is an absolutely phenomenal continuation of the Exit Unicorns story.
