Produktbeschreibung

Ireland 1947. Seven weeks of relentless snow. Guard Eamon Foley is searching for a missing child.
At Toby Appleyard's farm, he discovers the kitchen littered with dead cats. And the skeletal remains of a woman. Upstairs, Toby is dead in his bed.
But was it murder? Or natural causes brought on by the unusually prolonged bout of bitter weather? Were the cats locked in accidentally? Or deliberately used to devour the evidence of foul play?
It was common knowledge that resentment against the Appleyards still festered amongst the tenants over something that happened twelve years ago.
Was it possible it all came to a head on New Year's Day, the last time the Appleyards were seen alive?
But it was now March. Could the Appleyards have been dead all that time and no one noticed? Did Foley believe the severe snow kept the tenants from calling on the Appleyards for so long?
Guard Eamon Foley had so many suspects, he was spoilt for choice.

Autorenporträt

Brendan Gerad O'Brien was born in Tralee, on the west coast of Ireland and now lives in Newport, South Wales with his wife Jennifer and daughters Shelly and Sarah.

As a child he spent his summer holidays in Listowel, Co Kerry, where his uncle Moss Scanlon had a Harness Maker's shop, now long gone.

The shop was a magnet for all sorts of colourful characters. It was there that his love of words was kindled by the stories of John B. Keane and Bryan MacMahon, who often wandered into the shop for a chat and bit of jovial banter.

After serving nine years in the Royal Navy, Brendan progressed to retail management, working as a Department manager with the UK's second largest Supermarket.

Now retired, his hobby is writing short stories, twenty of which have already been published individually over the years, and also as a collection called Dreamin Dreams

Dark September is his first full novel, and Gallows Field is the first time we meet Eamon Foley in a murder mystery set in Ireland in 1941

A Pale Moon Was Rising is the next story to feature Eamon Foley, now with the Gardai investigating another murder in Tralee, Co Kerry.
