Synopsis

Two dead bodies in the Dublin mountains. What's the connection between them?

A man is found in his car, having met a painful death. Another man is found in the woods, clearly murdered.

DI Aidan Burke seeks to establish the connection between these deaths. The first man is a wealthy property developer. Little is known about the second victim.

Burke's sergeant, DS Fiona Moore, sets to work gathering evidence. But the investigation turns up some unusual findings that point to serious organized criminal activity.

Soon the race is on to collar suspects who are escaping to mainland Europe and out of their reach.

Will the mix of DI Burke's unconventional methods and DS Moore's steady police work catch the culprits?

A keen photographer, David visits Connemara as often as his writing will allow to capture the beauty of the place on film.

Goodreads review by Cynthia

Probably more a 3.5 rating. A very good book that deals with real and unpleasant issues. A bit predictable at times; I guessed the principal plot issues and the people responsible. Characters that appeared to be working well together in the previous book now seem more prickly. Burke and Moore, in thi......more

Goodreads review by Sandra

I waivered between 3 and 4 stars, and wanted to give it 3-1/2 stars, mainly because the writing is a bit unpolished. when I first started reading the book, I felt like I was reading something written by a novice writer. It just had that feel to it. Everything seemed to be described in too much detai......more
