Book description
Big Bill Stanwood is a lost man since his beloved wife, Katie, died.
He has left his job in the homicide division of the Los Angeles Police
Department; detective work has no interest for him anymore But Bill
must keep the promise he made to Katie. He must travel to Ireland,
find his wife's younger sister Noreen, and bring her Katie's blessing.
After unsuccessfully seeking her at an old address in Dublin,
Stanwood arrives in Rosslare, the tiny town where the sisters had been
born. He considers it a lucky coincidence that Noreen is there-working
in the hotel where he's staying. She greats him with delight, then
runs off to an appointment, promising to meet him later. And Stanwood
never sees her again until her battered body turns up on the hotel's
golf links.
The instinct of his twenty year profession stirs within him, and
Stanwood doggedly sets out to find Noreen's killer. His search sends
him to the fringes of Irelands violent political factions, where he
uncovers another murder which puts him in dire peril of his own life.
