A body found below a cliff is not what it seems, and a deadly heist is underway in this enjoyable Irish murder mystery

Whilst junior detectives rush to the scene of a potential murder near Roundstone, Connemara, an informant lets on to DCI Mick Hays that a big robbery is about to take place.

With a large part of Galway’s police force mobilised to catch the felons in the act, resources are stretched. Will the robbers walk into the trap? Is the information reliable? Are they sufficiently prepared?

Unresolved, the murder and the heist stand to leave egg on the face of the west coast of Ireland’s finest. And a group of dangerous criminals are set to make off scot-free with the Christmas pay.

It will take serious detective work to convince the chief superintendent that Hays and his team are up to the task in hand. If things go pear-shaped DCI Hays’ upcoming promotion will be jeopardised. That and the reputation of the Garda itself.
