Slecht bloed

by Declan Hughes

Ed Loy returns to Dublin after years in Los Angeles, working as a private investigator in a city that has changed beyond recognition. When wealthy businessman Patrick Hutton hires him to investigate threats against his family, Loy expects a straightforward case. Instead he uncovers a web of corruption stretching back decades. Old grudges surface as Loy digs deeper into Dublin's criminal underworld. The investigation forces him to confront his own past and the reasons he left Ireland. As bodies pile up and the threat escalates, Loy must navigate between police suspicion and criminal vengeance. The case becomes personal when people from his former life emerge from the shadows. Loy discovers that in the new Dublin, money talks louder than loyalty, and everyone has something to hide.
