Having spent most of his working life with Interpol and Europol, Shane O'Neil returns to his childhood home in Powl Duv, a small village in south-west Ireland where time has stagnated for decades. Acting on a whim, he opens up the Kerry Detective Agency and a peculiar chain of events is set in motion. Gabriel Rosenstock's debut novel is a fantastic concoction of highly original humour and lyrical poignancy. My Head is Missing scintillates along the borders of the mythical and the real.
