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.
