300 pages; a year's work: Author Kerrigan 'in bits' as unfinished novel left in Dublin taxi

Kate Kerrigan has lost her almost-completed eighth novel, stored on a laptop left in the back of a Dublin taxi.

Author Kate Kerrigan is desperately seeking the return of a laptop left in the back of a Dublin taxi.

The laptop is a big enough loss - but bigger by far is the saved transcript of Kate’s new novel, which was not backed up, anywhere. If Kate can’t get the laptop back, it’s back to page one for the author.
