Riassunto

'Imelda Sheridan was dead, which was tough cookies on Imelda, but then every silver lining has its cloud. My job was to find out who and why, at 12 cent per word for the right facts in the right order...which is how it all started out, anyway.'
Harry Rigby likes a smoke, the easy life, and Robert Ryan playing the bad guy in late night black-and-whites. Sweet. But when the wife of a prominent politician is murdered in her best nightie, Rigby finds himself caught in a crossfire between rogue paramilitaries, an internal Garda inquiry and the heaviest blizzard of coke ever to hit the northwest. If all this wasn't bad enough, his relationship with girlfriend Denise is on the rocks and he's hitting the bottle. Then there's Rigby's psychotic brother Gonzo, back on the streets and meaner than a jilted shark.

Product Description:

Harry Rigby, a private investigator in the west of Ireland, is having a rough time of it. His relationship with girlfriend Denise is on the rocks, and he's hitting the bottle. To make things worse, he's just heard that his long-lost brother, the amoral, thuggish Gonzo, is out of prison and looking for him. Fresh from unmasking Jessica Fletcher as a serial killer, Harry turns his attention to the untimely death of the wife of local politician Tony Sheridan. Was her death the work of an unholy trinity of loyalist gunmen, a rogue Garda and Gonzo? Or are there even more sinister forces at play? Flashing with razor-sharp wit, black humour and edgy, fast-paced plotting, Eight-Ball Boogie is an enthralling page-turner that marks the debut of a fresh, potent new talent in Irish crime fiction.
