About this ebook

Dublin 1941. A brutal murder. A missing ledger. And a mistaken identity has barman Eamon Foley running for his life. Nine months later Foley is in a crowded pub in Tralee. The music is loud. The singing is louder. His brother-in-law Joe McCarthy is shot dead. In the chaos, Foley thinks he sees the Dublin killer rushing through the door. Is this a message? Have they caught up with him at last, looking for the ledger? Or is it as the local Gardaí suspect – Joe was killed by a jealous husband, given his reputation as a notorious womaniser? They dismiss Foley's concerns - with horrendous results.
