Summary

Half-Romani detective Eoin Miller finds people for a living—usually people who would do anything to remain hidden. Ironic considering Eoin has done all he can to lose himself in a downward spiral that has cost him his job, his respect, his wife, and anything else that ever mattered. But he’s not inclined to dwell on what he’s given up, and Eoin prefers it that way.

Then he meets Mary, a hard-drinking woman on the run who confides that she’s stolen a valuable item, one that certain people would kill to get back. The two of them seek a temporary—and incomplete—solace in each other’s arms, only for Mary to turn up as a corpse in Eoin’s bed the next morning, him asleep on the sofa.

Recalling his father’s aversion to authority, Eoin runs from the body, but he hates a mystery, and is driven to discover the truth behind Mary’s murder, even if it means putting his own life on the line. Before long, Eoin’s tangled up in a ferocious turf war that has him playing his former allies and employers—crime lords, drug dealers, cops, and politicians—against each other.

Great complex dark story matched by the narration

Darker than Cracker, more complex than Morse, more edgy than any other flawed hero than you can think of, Eoin Miller is a gripping character to follow through a twisted web of lies, deceits and murder in the Black Country. David Gurney's narration centres you in that world and and absorbs you into the story no less than if you were watching a film. I will be waiting for the next Eoin Miller audiobook and I hope I don't have to wait too long.
