![]() Blue Crystal Literary Magazine Presents "Room 122"— A Gripping Literary Thriller by acclaimed Irish author Neil Brosnan
A richly layered work of fiction blending mystery, romance, and political intrigue, Room 122 explores the haunting connection between two seemingly unrelated murders—one in a west of Ireland hotel in 1971 and another involving a CIA operative in Dublin during U.S. President Ronald Reagan's 1984 visit to Ireland. At the centre of the narrative is Tommy Walsh, whose life unfolds over decades against the backdrop of Ireland's shifting social and political landscape. From a youthful summer job in a coastal hotel to becoming entangled in suspicion, surveillance, and unresolved secrets, Tommy's journey is marked by love, loss, and relentless pursuit of truth. His relationship with Marian, an enigmatic art student turned global photojournalist, adds emotional depth to a story that spans continents and generations. Drawing on the historical tensions of the Irish Troubles and broader international conflicts, Brosnan crafts a powerful narrative that examines the personal cost of political unrest. The novel captures the enduring impact of memory, identity, and justice, weaving together intimate human experiences with global events. Printed at Blue Crystal Press (UK), Room 122 represents a significant achievement in contemporary literary fiction, showcasing Brosnan's signature storytelling style—honed through years of success in short fiction. With over one hundred published short stories and multiple literary awards to his name, Brosnan brings a wealth of narrative expertise to his debut novel.
