About this book
Chief Inspector of Detectives Peter McGarr is the hard-nosed policeman of Bartholomew Gills widely acclaimed series of atmospheric Irish mysteries. Now here is the novel that started it all--the Chief Inspectors very first appearance. It was twilight on Killiney Bay when they pulled the Yank out of the water his head split open by a violent blow. For McGarr the case was a welcome chance to escape the gloom of Dublin. But from his first moment at the injured mans yacht club McGarr realizes getting at the truth will require fitting together a number of jagged pieces: the world-class sailor who ran both his boat and his life aground; the beautiful woman who paid his bills; and the politician who was uncharacteristically involving himself in a homicide investigation. Suddenly McGarr must face a malevolent plot of IRA gunrunning betrayal and conspiracy--all aimed at not just killing one unhappy sailor but framing a certain Chief Inspector and keeping him away from secrets even more dangerous than murder.
