Synopsis

"I glanced up but he'd already jumped, a dark blur plummeting, wings folded against the drag like some starving hawk out of the noon sun, some angel betrayed. He punched through the cab's roof so hard he sent metal shearing into the petrol tank. All it took was one spark. Boom . . ."Harry Rigby is right there, an eye-witness when Finn Hamilton walks out into the big nothing nine stories up, but no one wants to believe Finn is just the latest statistic in Ireland's silent epidemic. Not Finn's mother, Saoirse Hamilton, whose property empire is crumbling around her; and not Finn's pregnant fiancé, Maria, or his sister Grainne; and especially not Detective Tohill, the cop who believes Rigby is a stone-cold killer, a slaughter's hound with a taste for blood . . . Welcome to Harry Rigby's Sligo, where death comes dropping slow. Studded with shards of black humour and mordant wit, Slaughter's Hound is a gripping noir from one of the most innovative voices in Irish crime fiction.

    The floating city of Pelagia has drifted across the Azure Basin for centuries, a sprawling metropolis of coral towers, lantern-lit markets, and iron storm barriers. But beneath its peaceful surface, the ocean hides an ancient and terrifying secret. 
    Malcolm Grant is a disciplined archivist who lives in the quiet safety of the city's historical records. Lincoln Doyle is a stormwarden, a living conduit bearing lightning scars who anchors the city's magical defenses. They have nothing in common—until a string of inexplicable deaths strikes the harbor. 
    Victims are turning up burned by chaotic storm magic, but the lightning isn't falling from the sky. It is rising from the sea. 
    As Malcolm traces the origin of dangerous ancient relics being dredged from the deep, she is forced to ally with Lincoln, whose own magic is violently reacting to an unknown force far below the seabed. Together with a reckless deepwater diver, they must descend into the crushing depths of the Tidemire tunnels, uncovering a buried sanctum that predates human civilization. 
    What they find isn't a ruin. It is a prison. And the seal is beginning to crack. 
    Full of elemental magic, deep-sea mystery, and thrilling investigative twists, Embers Beneath the Tide is a breathtaking oceanic fantasy that will drag you into the treacherous, beautiful depths.

The four were closely associated in their interests and were of varying types and varying degrees of badness. Basically, one was the Cat’s-paw; one was the Brutal Ruffian; one was the Arch Villain behind it all; and one was the Judas Iscariot, who carried the bag, and who betrayed the whole bunch.

Famed detective Fleming Stone is a disguised passenger with assumed name who solves the bewildering case in his usual clever and inimitable manner. Listen and learn just how it all happened.
