Horses is the story of a storm, of grief, of arson, and revenge. A priest, a doctor and a policeman, on a wild stormy night in South Dublin, struggle with the grief of a teenage girl and the unpredictability of a vagrant. This is a taut tale which draws not only on the action but also on the innermost fears, grief and insecurities of the characters for its tension.
Set against the ravages of a storm which adds even more to the intensity of the story, this is a thriller told with skill and a thoughtful use of language. The final twist brings a feeling of relief and the satisfaction of the best outcome.

Owen Roe has appeared in dramas such as Ballykissangel, Any Time Now and The Ambassador. He also has an extensive portfolio in radio drama, including the much-loved Baldi.

Keith Ridgway is from Dublin. The novella Horses was published in 1997 and was followed in 1998 by his critically acclaimed first novel The Long Falling, which has since been awarded both the prestigious Prix Femina Etranger and Premier Roman Etranger in France.

His short stories have appeared in various anthologies in Ireland, Britain and the United States. His collection Standard Time, won the Rooney Prize in 2001.
