Book by Hughes Declan
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
What's in a name? Apparently everything for Ed Loy, because that's the only information Father Vincent Tyrrell, brother of prominent racehorse trainer F. X. Tyrrell, offers when he asks for Ed's help in finding a missing person. Even the best private eye needs more than just a name, but hard times and a dwindling bank account make it difficult for Loy to say no.
He is not without luck, however. While working another case, Loy discovers a phone number that seems linked to F.X. found on an unidentified body. Thinking it more than a coincidence, he begins digging into the history of the Tyrrells—a history consumed with trading and dealing, gambling and horse breeding—and soon realizes there is more to the family than meets the eye, a suspicion confirmed when two more people with connections to the Tyrrells are killed.
On the eve of one of Ireland's most anticipated sporting events, the four-day Leopardstown Race-course Christmas Festival, all bets are off as Loy pursues a twisted killer on the final leg of a reckless master plan.
In The Price of Blood, Declan Hughes once again paints an arresting portrait of an Ireland not found in any guidebooks. Deadly passions beget dark secrets in a chilling story that will have readers on edge right up to its shocking conclusion.
PRAISE FOR THE DYING BREED (**)
A very fine writer (Sunday Telegraph)
Hughes is not afraid to take his references and run with them, he is not afraid to have a good time. Above all, he is not afraid of writing well (Anne Enright, Guardian)
'A deeply atmospheric writer . . . [Hughes'] keen ear for the demotic, his sharp eye for the damning detail, makes The Dying Breed a vivid, gripping, and . . . chilling read.' (Claire Kilroy, Irish Times)
Hughes is an impressive talent (Irish Independent)
'The book is rich in character and strong in narration and will keep the reader glued right through to the last line' (Expressit)
This intelligent, often brutal thriller will have readers' hearts racing from start to finish. (Publishers Weekly starred review)
As crisply written as his previous books, Hughes is definitely onto another winner (Dublin Evening Herald)
'Well-written and sharp' (Irish Sunday Independent)
'...Rising Irish crime star Declan Hughes turns his acerbic eye on the Irish horseracing scene' (Observer)
