I looked in his eyes. Those dead eyes. I wanted to choke some life back into them.
When DI Michael Bosco chokes a suspected child killer into a coma, he is expelled from the GardaÃ. Now lacking a purpose in life, Bosco gets a job offer he can't refuse from a supposedly retired gang boss. It's not long before he becomes the main suspect in a series of vigilante murders and survives an attempted hit. Under siege and emboldened, Bosco has some morally ambiguous choices to make, like whether to play by the rules or take the law into his own hands.
Prepare to meet some unsavoury characters from the streets of Cork -- a fixer who chops off a finger if you welsh on a debt; a corrupt Garda Sergeant; a mercenary who wields a machete like it was just a toothpick; a bagman who is quick to collect debt, but slow to put his hand in his own pocket.
At times introspective and other times thrilling, The Murk Beneath features a liberal dose of wry Irish humour and the kind of cynicism and fatalism you would expect of a literary noir novel.
Fans of Michael Connelly and James Ellroy will feel right at home in the gritty and sometimes grotty world that Mickey Bosco inhabits.
