Ed Loy has made some changes. He has moved into a flat in Dublin's city centre, leaving the family home behind. Maybe now he can break free from the ghosts of his past - the drinking, the dirty deals, the sleazy underworld.
But when a 15-year-old murder case is reopened, Loy is hired by the victim's daughter to investigate the suspects ignored by the first investigation: a rich property developer, an ex-IRA man and Loy's least favourite sociopath, George Halligan. Loy has to watch his back: in the murky world into which he has fallen, he can't tell which threats come from the IRA and which from the police protecting their old case.

"Great read. I especially like that the books are set in Ireland with all of it's unique slang terms. Hughes creates really compelling story lines with characters that you just want to see on the big screen. Hope they make a movie out of one of his books some day. " — Chris (5 out of 5 stars)

" The author's style gave authentic voice to this detective mystery. "
" Strictly speaking, probably four and a half, but for the pleasure reading this man's writing give me, this easily deserves a five. As ever the plotting is tight and unfathomable and Ed Loy himself unputtdownable. "
" Too many characters. Too much Irish dialogue made it dificult to understand. "
" Get ready to be immersed in the Irish revolution and the way it still lives in present day mob violence. "
" 4th Ed Loy novel, I found this a much improved and better novel than books 2 & 3 in the series. Good insight to modern Ireland with a tight plot and intrigue to keep hard boiled fans happy. Recommended. "

" Deeply noir.No winners in this story but explains in his own fashion some of the back story of the IRA and its historical effect on the Irish mentality in Ireland. "
" Great book, beautifully written, complex with redemption for some but not others. "
" First book I've read by this author, I will definitely look for more of his books. "
" Great setup and middle. Thereafter it becomes a nit too pat but the ending is strong enough. It's nice that its set in Dublin. All in all a strong crime pi novrl. "
