Synopsis

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A British MP and an intelligence agent suspect a vast conglomerate of drug crimes—but must live long enough to prove it . . .   In the jungles of northern Burma, land has been cleared and construction of a large, luxurious resort is well underway. At the same time, Burmese heroin has suddenly started pouring into Western nations. British agent Patrick Hyde suspects it isn’t a coincidence.   Is the worldwide hotel chain that’s building the resort using its casinos to launder drug money? How is the Chinese government involved? And is there any connection to the recent murder of a Burmese man—a constituent of British MP Marion Pyott? Hyde must follow the tangled threads and keep both himself and Marion alive in this gripping novel of passion, politics, and espionage from the renowned author of Firefox and A Different War.   “When it comes to keeping the story moving and stoking up the excitement, Mr. Thomas knows his business.” —The New York Times

    In this new installment of Ken Bruen's beloved Jack Taylor series, the whiskey-swigging Irish detective investigates a series of violent attacks on the local convent's nuns. 
     
     
     
    Jack Taylor wakes up from a coma to discover that much of the world has changed since he last walked the streets of Galway. The pandemic had hit while he was under, devastating the lives of many in his beloved city and beyond. Now, as Jack tries to recover from the attack that put him in the hospital and absorb the incredible changes in the world around him, a woman approaches him with a distressing case: two local nuns have been bludgeoned by a mysterious man wielding a hammer, and more are sure to follow. As the police fail to act while the violence against the Sisters escalates, Jack seems like their only hope. 
     
     
     
    Initially wary of becoming involved in the investigation, Jack finds he cannot stay away from the mystery surrounding these vicious attacks. He also cannot shake a feeling of darkness that has haunted him since he awoke from his coma—a darkness that is far too close for comfort. Luckily an old friend is there to help see him through and there is always Jack's dark wit and a drink to help shore up his mood.

    Every great hero has an origin story and for the legendary Sherlock Holmes, it is "A Study in Scarlet," Arthur Conan Doyle's 1887 novel which introduced the world's leading (and only) consulting detective to the reading public. Though not an immediate sensation (the novel was received with moderate acclaim), it has gone on to become one of the most revered detective novels in history and its protagonists - Dr. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes - are easily the most recognized and celebrated crime fighting duo in all of literature.  The plot is a familiar one to Holmes aficionados: Soon after becoming Holmes' roommate at 221B Baker Street, army veteran Dr. John Watson is invited to accompany the detective to a crime scene.  A man has been poisoned and the word RACHE is discovered written in red on the wall. What follows is a wild and tumultuous adventure involving murder, deceit, revenge...and the strange history of the Mormon religion. It is also the story that introduced the world to Holmes' young assistants, a ragtag group of street urchins known as the Baker Street Irregulars.  The story of the greatest detective in literary history...begins with this book. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet" is proudly presented here in its original and unabridged format.
