The Colour of Blood: An Ed Loy Novel

by Declan Hughes (Author)

Synopsis

Emily Howard is nineteen years old, slim and petite with a pale complexion and a red rose tattoo. She is also missing. She disappeared three days ago, and now her father has been sent photographs of her naked body. He is desperate to find her. So he calls Ed Loy, a private investigator who knows the dark streets of Dublin better than most; a man who will find Emily Howard within twenty-four hours. But locating Emily turns out to be only the beginning. Within hours, Emily's ex-boyfriend is found murdered, and Loy finds himself in a race against time to catch a killer -- and to unearth the many dark secrets the Howard family have kept long buried.

Media Reviews
Praise for THE WRONG KIND OF BLOOD: 'Distinctive, witty, violent and moving, THE WRONG KIND OF BLOOD is reminiscent of the best of classic American crime fiction, yet ultimately Hughes's voice is utterly his own. With THE WRONG KIND OF BLOOD Irish crime fiction has come of age' -- John Connolly 'To call Declan Hughes a natural is to engage in understatement' -- Douglas Kennedy 'Declan Hughes breathes new life into the private detective story' -- Michael Connelly
