Black Irish
Author(s): Stephan Talty
A compelling, standout crime thriller for fans of Jo Nesbo, Tana French and Dennis Lehane. Harvard-educated Detective Absalom 'Abbie' Kearney has returned to "The County" - an Irish enclave in Buffalo, NY - to take care of her ageing father, legendary former cop John Kearney. In one of America's most deprived and dilapidated cities, tensions run high and Abbie's day job is never easy. But when it becomes apparent that a relentless and merciless killer has set to work, it's about to get a lot harder. Faced with scenes of inconceivable violence, Abbie's investigation takes her to the heart of this fiercely closed community. And the darkness she finds there will affect her life in ways she could never have imagined...
