“You’ve got no Gaelic, right?” Brian asked, tapping the grip of his dirk thoughtfully against his chin.

Because this isn’t a knife you keep in a scabbard by your side. The advantage is the dubh, the hidden. Your enemies don’t know it’s there until it’s stuck inside them.”

Summary
Frank and Ray, best friends since high school, have spent a year stowing away extra cash to follow a favorite band of theirs on tour. Traveling should be a nice reprieve from their tiny hometown, their day jobs, and their unsuccessful attempts to kickstart their music careers.
Maybe, if the stars align, they'll get a little something more out of it, too.
