This Plague Of Souls by Mike McCormack

Recently released from prison, a man returns to an empty home to find his wife and child missing. As he searches the eerily suspended landscape of contemporary Ireland, he’s drawn into cryptic phone calls with a stranger who claims to know where his family is and hints at an impending national crisis. The resulting journey blends noir tension with existential unease, as memory, guilt, and paranoia blur the line between personal reckoning and a world sliding toward catastrophe.
