No place in the sun
John Mulligan ex-ESB Retail has another top seller.
'Tom Murphy sells overseas property to gullible buyers with more money than sense, conveniently leaving his conscience - if he ever had one - outside the door of the salesroom.
Thankfully, for those readers who bought a property abroad in recent years, Tom Murphy is not a real person. This unsavoury salesman is a fictional character in a fast-paced and funny new novel by John Mulligan, formerly of ESB Retail. John's new book, No Place in the Sun, is an often hilarious race through two years of the life of the said Tom Murphy - a character inspired by the author's time spent in the property business in Central and Eastern Europe.
This might be a work of fiction, but No Place in the Sun can best be described as a primer for the unwary, a parable for the Celtic Tiger years when people went abroad to buy homes and left their brains at home. Truly a book to make you wary of the world - don't leave home without it!
More details can be seen on www.noplaceinthesun.com. The book can be found in all good bookshops (there are a few signed copies in the gift shop at Number 29 for anyone in the vicinity of Head Office). If you can't find it in your local bookshop, you can buy it direct from www.noplaceinthesun. com. Priced at a very reasonable €9.95, it would make a great Christmas gift
