Angel of Death
A Thrilling Murder Mystery Set In Ireland
The Caffrey family are cutting turf on a Kerry bog when their sheepdog presents them with a human bone.
Garda Detective-Inspector Trey O'Driscoll is tasked with the duty of investigating the find. From the outset, he suspects foul play and investigation of the bog produces pieces of evidence that lead to a UK jeweller, who comes up with two names. Through this, records of a horse kidnap emerge and Driscoll has thoughts of the disappearance of Shergar, the Derby winner. Not believing earlier investigators, he has his own beliefs.
An athlete dies of lethal drugs surreptitiously laced into innocent looking tablets. Driscoll establishes a source but his Chief Inspector won't entertain an enquiry for an undisclosed reason. Evidence leads to a manufacturer on a Greek island who also happens to be a major racehorse owner in the UK.
Into this scenario a beautiful freelance journalist insinuates herself. From tit-bits of information, she anticipates where the heart of the investigation will lead, gets a job as a stable hand in a critical racing yard, working under cover.
Ultimately, it's she who unearths the critical evidence leading to the unfurling of this spine-tingling murder mystery.
Angel of Death is full of tragedy and violence, but it also carries a stubborn hope for justice and love. I would recommend Angel of Death to readers who enjoy crime fiction with heart people who like Irish settings, and anyone who wants a story that swings between gritty truth and dramatic flair.
