About this listen

 Even the best private eye needs more than a name to find a missing person, but that's all that Father Vincent Tyrrell, the brother of prominent racehorse trainer F. X. Tyrrell, will offer Loy when he comes to him for help.

A dwindling bank account convinces Loy to delve into the deadly underworld of horse racing, but fortune soon smiles on him: while working another case, he discovers a phone number linked to F. X. on a badly beaten body left at an illegal dump.

Loy's been around long enough to know that there's more to the Tyrrell family than meets the eye - and then a third body appears...

Amazing narration

My first Declan Hughes book. Really enjoyed the story and the clever quips in the narrative. What really stunned me was Stanley Towsends narration which was amazing he really made the characters come alive in my head. Didnt think anyone could be as good as Sean Barret or Will Paton but he comes very close. Fantastic. Off to download all the others in this series.

Townsend & Hughes continue top form

Declan Hughes’ brilliant prose and Stanley Townsend’s gymnastic vocal performances are a great partnership. This particular Ed Loy tale is perhaps over-convoluted, but the narrative twists and turns, rich characterisation, and insights into the mysteries of the Irish racing world, make for an engrossing listen.
