Exactly what was Billy Power—factory machinist, greyhound keeper, and “Jack the Lad” about Waterford—involved in? And why did he have to die? DI Carl McCadden finds straight answers about Power—or anything else—hard to come by. And as McCadden searches for the truth in bleak and dilapidated housing projects, bars, and dog tracks, shady business dealings and self–righteous politicking muddy the already-murky waters.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Subtle, complex, and compelling, Jim Lusby’s mysteries are set in “the real Ireland, where pleasure and pain are inextricably linked.” Of his hero—unshaven, unorthodox, and unpopular with his superiors—the GUARDIAN writes: “Inspector Carl McCadden has just the right degree of laid back charm.”
About the Author
