Dublin PI Ed Loy is trying to escape his past--a task easier
said than done--in this new novel from Shamus Award-winning author
Declan Hughes
Shortly after moving from his childhood home on the outskirts of
Dublin to an apartment in the city, Ed Loy is approached by Anne
Fogarty, a woman whose father was killed fifteen years ago. She
thinks the police nabbed the wrong person, and now she wants Loy to
find the truth. At the top of the list of possible suspects are
three men Anne's father, a revenue inspector, was preparing claims
against for criminal activity: Bobby Doyle, an ex-IRA man turned
property developer; Jack Cullen, also ex-IRA, now the head of a
gang of disgruntled IRA men; and George Halligan, Loy's underworld
nemesis.
At the same time, Loy is asked to look into the death of Paul
Delaney, a rising soccer star who may have been connected with Jack
Cullen. With the two cases on a collision course, Loy scours the
streets of a city divided--where the wounded Celtic Tiger walks
hand in hand with the ghosts of a violent past.
With his gripping mysteries in the tradition of Raymond
Chandler's and Ross MacDonald's best, a striking portrayal of an
Ireland seldom seen, and a classic hero in Ed Loy, Declan Hughes
cements his place as one of the most talented new crime writers
working today.
