THE SECOND TOM REYNOLDS MYSTERY FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PERFECT LIE

Did I know it would come to this? There is no shot at redemption. I am going to die. The gun is in my eye-line as the second bullet is fired. That's the one that kills me.

Late at night, two powerful men meet in a secret location to discuss a long nurtured plan about to come to fruition. One is desperate to know there is nothing standing in their way - the other assures him everything is taken care of. Hours later, a high-ranking government official called Ryan Finnegan is brutally slain in the most secure building in Ireland - Leinster House, the seat of parliament. Inspector Tom Reynolds and his team are called in to uncover the truth behind the murder.

At first, all the evidence hints at a politically motivated crime, until a surprise discovery takes the investigation in a dramatically different direction. Suddenly the motive for murder has got a lot more personal. . . but who benefits the most from Ryan's death?

This book was so much better the second time with Aoife narrating the story. More of Tom Reynolds would be good

First off, I recommend reading the first in the series to get the full benefit. My only gripe with this particular story is the numerous pages devoted to the emotional angst between two of the detectives. I am really not interested in others loves lives and if I were I would read a romance novel. I skimmed those particular sections and it detracted nothing from the actual story. Having said that, it was a good crime story and the narration was excellent.

A Good Book
