Irish detectives struggle to make sense of the evidence in this mystery that keeps you guessing.

A relaxing sailing trip on his day off becomes anything but for DSI Mick Hays when a body is found at sea.

The coastguard pluck the corpse from the ocean with ease, but establishing the dead man’s identity won’t be straightforward. And when pathology indicates he was murdered, Hays’ partner DI Maureen Lyons is put in charge of the investigation.

Good forensics and a nose for trouble lead Lyons to a small hamlet in an isolated part of the coast. But the locals, who are running a smooth bootleg liquor operation, are none too forthcoming with information.

Suspicions are raised when a known associate of the victim goes to ground. But who is he running from? The police or the killer themselves? Lyons will have to work quickly and solve the puzzle before another body is found.

MURDER IN A SAFE HAVEN is the tenth standalone book in a series of thirteen featuring DSI Mick Hays and DI Maureen Lyons, which is set on the west coast of Ireland.
