Aah, I love the Inspector Devlin police procedural mysteries set in Ireland. According to Peter James (author), Inspector Devlin is a "truly human and original police officer, flawed, maverick and vulnerable". Yes, no doubt, he is a compassionate man, a man of conscience who would fight for justice with dogged determination, a good man, few and far between.
This is a quality series which you cannot afford to ignore. I will be onto the fourth and latest in the series called The Rising (published 2010) next. Do check out Brian McGilloway's books.
Paperback blurb: When a controversial US envoy is attacked at the prestigious opening of a Donegal gold mine, Inspector Ben Devlin is blamed for letting the gunman through.
Then an illegal immigrant is killed near the Irish border and Devlin has a chance to redeem himself.
He links the death to a vicious people-smuggling ring, but when another body turns up he begins to suspect that the new mine is hiding something much darker than precious metal.
The new novel from one of the most celebrated crime writers around finds Inspector Devlin struggling to balance his devotion to his young family against the brutal realities of a new Ireland.
World politics, big business and organized crime collide in Brian McGilloway's most gripping and gutsy novel yet.
Bleed A River Deep was first published in 2009.
Rating: 4/5
