Publisher's Synopsis
In the Irish country town of Dunsheerin, where begrudgery is the most popular hobby, and where grievances get a better nursing than the sick, enemies are easily made. So when local bar-fly Jim McQuilter sees John Burns face down in the river, he has a fair idea that he isn't swimming...A police investigation into the murder of a well-known local businessman comes up against a web of dark secrets and deep-rooted alliances. But with the arrival of the Dublin Superintendent and his team, the real stories begin to emerge. In Dunsheerin, there are old scores and bitter grudges to be settled, not only amongst the villagers, but amongst the police themeselves...
