by Declan Hughes Edward Loy is an Irish private investigator who left Ireland and transplanted to Los Angeles. After 20 years he returns to Dublin for his mother's funeral. While he is there a friend, Linda Dawson, asks him to locate her missing husband, Peter. Loy finds a corpse in the foundation of a city town hall and becomes involved with a notorious family of brothers who head an organized crime ring with heroin funding, murders, and the IRA. These all become part of his past which he must lay to rest. This story is well paced, exciting, and suspenseful. The dialogue is excellent as is the development of the main characters. The action is violent, brutal yet exhilarating. The one fault is that there are too many subplots which detract from the main story. The nicely observed views of Dublin and the Irish countryside convey the sights, sounds and smells of the Dublin streets. |
