Too late to find a missing man, are Irish detectives in time to catch his killer?
It is only a passing comment in the post office in a remote part of Western Ireland that alerts police to the disappearance of Davin Faherty. But foul play is established when his unceremoniously wrapped corpse turns up in a bog.
His brother falls under suspicion, but why kill over a near-useless piece of grazing land?
DI Maureen Lyons leads the investigation but relies on trusty Mulholland, the old-school local policeman stationed in Clifden, for the legwork.
She has other problems: an illegal cannabis farm and a prospector from a US minerals company who won't take no for an answer.
Ultimately, however, DI Lyons will need to get her hands dirty before the killer vanishes into the coastal mist.
MURDER IN AN IRISH BOG is the eleventh title in the best-selling police mystery series set in Galway on the west coast of Ireland by David Pearson.
