Synopsis

Belfast, Northern Ireland: early spring 2017. Retired Chief Inspector Patrick Mullan is found brutally murdered in his bed. Detective Sergeant Ryan McBride and his partner Detective Sergeant Billy Lamont are called to his desolate country home to investigate. In their inquiry, they discover a man whose career with the police service of Northern Ireland was overshadowed by violence and corruption. Is the killer someone from Mullan's past, or his present?

And who hated the man enough to kill him twice?

Ryan and Billy once again face a complex investigation with wit and intelligence, all set in Belfast and the richly atmospheric countryside around it.

Years ago I read a fascinating book, The Peddler’s Son by Cohen, which is a biography of growing up Jewish in MS. Now I find this novel about an attorney family with more twists than can be imagined. Very entertaining and a good read.......more

Goodreads review by Flora on July 10, 2020

Gothic great! This was a read in one sitting whodunit that I thoroughly enjoyed. It made the stereotype of southern wealth and white privilege take on individual characteristics. Human motivation is not prettified. It is southern gothic for sure!......more
