Chapter 23: Frank's Name
Mal's POV
On the long table at the front of the Hall lay the Family's book.
It was a thick black ledger with a cracked spine.
Every death, debt and ruling the Murtaghs had made in sixty years was in it, in fifty different hands.
The elder had carried it up from the cellar himself.
Sixty men stood along the walls with their hats off.
My father sat at the head of the table in a wheelchair, in the black suit from the portrait.
A nurse stood behind him, and he held a pen in his good hand.
Roisin stood beside me in her father's flannel.
She'd had no time to change.
The mark I had asked for was a purple bruise on my thigh under my good trousers.
The one she wore on her own throat was in plain sight, and no man in the Hall dared look at it twice.
"Page four hundred and eleven," said the elder.
He opened the book.
"November the fourth, last year. In Padraig's hand. 'Frank Culhane, driver, deceased. Intoxicated at the wheel. The Family owes nothing.'"
A rough murmur went round the room.
"Read the next line," said Mal.
