    About this ebook

    “They way I see it, either I do you for the two murders, or you come over on to my side.”
    “What side is that?”
    “The wild side.” He laughs and orders another but I stick with the rock shandy.
    “I’m in,” I say. “I don’t see a lot of options.”

    A former police colleague has you over a barrel. But he wants something...

      No way to murder a lady

      They say Eskimos have a hundred words for snow. The Irish should have the same for rain. Think black-grey cloud scudding over a small shiny silver sliver of a moon, driven by a gusting wind that’s sheeting in small rain drops by the gallon. Think dripping trees and hedges and daylong cold wet paving.
