Marked for Death
(2024)(The eighth book in the Inspector Sheehan Mysteries series)
A novel by Brian O'Hare
A Knight of the Realm is murdered.
High-level VIPs will attend the funeral.
One of them is marked for death.
Sir Theodore Hayes was a hard and unpopular businessman. There is no shortage of suspects for his murder. Distracted by two further, seemingly unconnected murders, Sheehan and his team are baffled by the killings.
Then Sheehan discovers that the Hayes’ murder is only the first move in a terrorist plot to ‘rock the British Isles’. The New IRA is planning something huge on the day of Sir Theodore’s funeral.
But after days of frantic enquiry the team learns nothing about the New IRA threat. Even on the morning of the funeral, with the hours racing by, Sheehan’s brain is still in turmoil.
Can he glean enough from the myriad small clues rattling through his head to figure out the plot in time to stop the terrorists?
Brian O’Hare has a fantastic gift for putting the reader right in the heart of the story, and with his descriptive talent, you can really feel the emotions and struggles of the characters. Loved it. [Liana Mayhew]
The author certainly knows how to keep you baffled. One author I’m going to keep an eye on for new releases, that’s for sure. [MaggieM]
