About the Book

Ed Loy has made some changes. He has moved into an apartment in Dublin's city centre, leaving behind his family home: he wants to break free of the ghosts of his own past, to live in the present. But if that's what he wants for his own life, it's not always what his clients will permit: the baggage they bring with him propel him relentlessly into past. The police are working along similar lines with their new Cold Case unit. Looking back over a fifteen-year-old murder, they are satisfied by their original findings but not so Loy. He has been 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 own nemesis, George Halligan. But 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. Can Loy persuade his longstanding friend DI Dave Donnelly to help solve the Fogarty case, or does he have to rely on the murderous George Halligan? Does it all go back to the IRA? Are the men who gave the commands now respectable citizens? In his toughest case yet, Ed Loy delves into the dirty side of life in the New Ireland, where progress comes at a price and no one is free of their past.

Review :
PRAISE FOR DECLAN HUGHES: - * I d be prepared to swear that there has never been a character in Irish crime fiction with a name so taut, muscular and slyly tongue in cheek as Ed Loy . . .' - Irish Times To call Declan Hughes "a natural" is to engage in understatement. Here is a crime novel that s both deftly plotted and truly character-driven. Like Chandler s Los Angeles, Hughes s Dublin is brilliantly atmospheric. The dialogue crackles and the characters have a truly lived-in authenticity. A great read - Douglas Kennedy Declan Hughes breathes new life into the private detective story - Michael Connelly Finally Ireland gets a hardboiled detective worthy of the name...- it's not hard to see why [Declan Hughes'] publisher placed so much faith in such a relative newcomer - Ireland on Sunday 'Top class . . . Fast moving, and paced with acutely observed dialogue, Hughes draws an accurate and decidedly dark picture of the changes wrought by Celtic Tiger Ireland on Seaview and its inhabitants. Highly recommended' - Irish Independent Review Hughes is in his element describing the sites and sounds of the places Loy visits - Sunday Tribune Declan Hughes manages the extremely difficult trick of not only locating a credible thriller in Ireland but also casting an eye on the way this society has changed utterly in the past two decades . . . Hughes laces his plot with razor-sharp and frequently hilarious comments on Irish society - Herald AM and Evening Herald
