The third book in the internationally acclaimed Inspector Devlin series

When a U. S. diplomat is attacked during the opening of a Donegal gold mine, Inspector Benedict Devlin is disciplined for the lapse in security. The gunman turns out to be an environmentalist who is the brother of an old friend of Devlin’s. Then the shooter is found dead near the mine and Devlin begins to suspect that the business is a front for something far more sinister.

BLEED A RIVER DEEP Chapter One

Praise for Bleed a River Deep

"McGilloway is definitely a writer to watch. Dark but not as pessimistic as Ken Bruen and Declan Hughes, his action-packed stories feature great characters and evoke a strong sense of modern Ireland." --Library Journal
 
“BLEED A RIVER DEEP is the third in the Ben Devlin series, and McGilloway does an excellent job of expanding the development of his protagonist…. The real pleasure of [the book] is found in the character of Ben Devlin, a moral man in an immoral world.” –Deadly Pleasures magazine

A well-written book with interesting characters, this book is more than a mystery. It has elements of intrigue, suspense, romance and great conflict. It is a must-read especially for those who have been to Ireland and will recognise many of the names mentioned from there. ...more
