Book Synopsis
Milo Devine is a Dublin gumshoe, an ex-cop driven off the force for exposing police corruption
A general election looms. Archie Cooley is The Gaffer – the brilliant, conniving leader of the opposition – and future Taoiseach of Ireland if the polls are correct. He’s also the father of wild and wilful Nuala, a former flame of Milo’s.
Now Nuala is missing. And Cooley wants her back.
Milo sets out to find her, breaking his golden rule: stay out of politics where smoke and mirrors are as deadly as the gun.
Soon Milo is a hunted man in a race with the devil . . .
