The Gun
Author: Daithi
Kavanagh
Genre: Crime Thriller
Book Description:
Garda Detective Tadhg Sullivan leads a special unit that
investigates politically motivated crime. A man known only as The Deerstalker
is a cancer who has infected the Irish political system.
Sullivan teams up with journalist Helen Carty, and together they
try tracking down the mysterious killer. Carty adds to Sullivan’s problems,
when he finds himself falling in love with her. And further complicating
things, he starts losing trust in his partner, Detective Pat Carter, who
appears to be on the side of the Garda Commissioner, who Sullivan is rapidly
falling out with.
Sullivan’s case is further thrown into confusion when a copycat
killer, Tommy Walsh, is shot dead by the CIA. When the CIA discovers that
they've killed the wrong person, the two agents involved--Simon, who has become
disillusioned by his time stationed in the Middle East, and Joey, a psychopath
who confuses zealotry with patriotism--are also in pursuit of The Deerstalker.
Sullivan finds himself in a race against time, if he is to arrest
The Deerstalker before the CIA take him out, and use his death as a pawn in a
political game of chess. Who will win out in the end?
