    BOOK REVIEW: SHAMUS DUST by JANET ROGER

    The Blurb: Two candles flaring at a Christmas crib. A nurse who steps inside a church to light them. A gunshot emptied in a man s head in the creaking stillness before dawn, that the nurse says she didn’t hear. It s 1947 in the snowbound, war-scarred City of London, where Pandora s Box just got opened…
