PI Ed Loy returns in this fourth novel by the excellent Declan Hughes. Loy has moved from his home in Quarry Fields to an apartment in Dublin’s city centre, complete with an office. However, the past is always there. When an old murder case is reopened, new suspects emerge, including an ex-IRA man and the psychotic George Halligan, whose brother Loy sent to jail.
With his terrific sense of place – it’s a great, gritty vision of Dublin – and convincing characterisation, Hughes goes from strength to strength as a writer. As the tension and suspense build, this tightly crafted novel does not disappoint.
