The Priest, Gerard O’Donovan.


Inspector Mike Mulcahy returns to Dublin from the lofty heights of Europol in Madrid.  Due to budget cuts he is now the Garda equivalent of a supply teacher, never owning a case.  Mulcahy - seconded to the case of a horrific midnight attack on a foreign language student - taps some old contacts and invites one of them into his bed.

As the attacks escalate Mike is sidelined, suspected of leaking information to the bewitching Siobhan Fallon, star reporter for the Herald.  When Fallon steals a lead and then disappears, Mulcahy falls back on the real leak to help him defrock a serial killer.  With so many sinuous twists and turns its hard to believe this is a first novel.
