"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.Mostra libro
Two similar paths colliding turns into one inevitable outcome… As a state police corporal, Owen Decker is no stranger to working undercover. Now, as a member of the Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force, his latest assignment is to wear a prospect cut and infiltrate the Deadly Demons MC. Unlike previous undercover assignments, this one is personal. After his sister’s fatal overdose, Decker was left to pick up the pieces and raise his young niece as his own. However, he’s not the only one determined to help take down the meth traffickers. Out of desperation, Sloane Parrish finds herself going head to head with the notorious MC when her drug-addicted sister, Sadie, gets tangled up with them. Despite being in over her head, Sloane’s still willing to risk everything—including her own safety—to save her baby sister before it’s too late. Unfortunately, the Deadly Demons have no limits when it comes to protecting both their club and very profitable enterprise. So when the people Decker loves end up in the outlaw MC’s crosshairs, he regrets the day he volunteered for this assignment. But he vows not to be the only one, he’ll make sure they regret that day, too. Note: Beyond the Badge: Decker is the third book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s HIGHLY recommended to read this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers.Mostra libro
