This is a richly entertaining collection of stories from the golden age of crime fiction - a period when crimes were solved by the wit and ingenuity of the sleuth with only his own intelligence to rely on. Within these pages you will find G.K. Chesterton's Mr. Pond, Ernest Bramah's blind detective, Max Carrados, Craifg Kennedy, 'the American Sherlock Holmes' and further tales by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Rudyard Kipling and A.C. Doyle.
The sequel to the international bestseller The Priest, again featuring DI Mike Mulcahy and reporter Siobhan Fallon In Irish author O—Donovan—s excellent follow-up to 2011—s The Priest, Det. Insp. Mike Mulcahy, the head of the Garda Síochána—s drug squad small International Liaison Unit in Dublin Castle, takes on a complex big-time cocaine smuggling case. Mulcahy—s under pressure to produce results or his team may be disbanded, and his love interest, reporter Siobhan Fallon, barely recovered physically and emotionally from the injuries she suffered in The Priest, has an ambitious junior reporter slavering at her heels, hungry for her job. Siobhan relentlessly tracks the red-hot story she needs, the disappearance of Cork accountant Gemma Kearney. The alternating narratives of her search for Kearney and Mulcahy—s investigations into grisly drug-related homicides first parallel, then converge into a brutal shoot-—em-up climax. O—Donovan pulls out some surprising stops to produce a tech-savvy, raw-edgy police-cum-press procedural with more twists than an Irish tall tale and enough intriguing loose ends to leave readers eager for the sequel
