Sinopsis
Crime runs rampant in the picturesque town of Leixleap — and onIreland's famed River Shannon, where brazen thieves illegally harvestthe gourmet-prized eels that flourish there. But while poachingmay be something the local Eel Police division is well-equippedto handle, murder is wholly another matter.Chief Inspector Peter McGarr has been called out from Dublin to investigate a troubling double homicide. The nude body of young, pretty, and,recently married Eel Policewoman Ellen Gilday Finn has been discoveredin the bed of a hot-sheet inn — wrapped around the equally unclothedcorpse of her much older boss, Pascal Burke. A crime of passion, perhaps, pointing to Ellen's cuckolded newly wedded husband as the perpetrator. But conflicting clues and false confessions are leading McGarrinto dangerous hidden corners where greed, corruption, IRA terror andradical, possibly deadly, environmentalism are but a few of the, dark blooms secretly nourished in the rich loam of the Irish countryside.
Reseñas
El May 4 2020, The Old Library Bookshop dijo:
Hard to believe that the most valued commodity in the area surrounding Leixleap on the River Shannon is the eel that swims in its waters. Hard to believe, too, that the job of Eel Policeman is so dangerous that two of Leixleap's finest are found dead in a local hotel. This is more than local law enforcement is able to handle, so a frantic phone call is made to Dublin's Chief Inspector Peter McGarr for assistance. The instigator of that call is an old school mate of McGarr, one whose bullying ways made him widely disliked. Although the murdered couple were shot "in flagrante delicto," McGarr's investigation uncovers clues that lead in a different direction. The IRA? eel poachers? a betrayed spouse? possibly even disgruntled environmentalists? McGarr will sort it all out, of that the reader has no doubt.
