Product Description
The fourth book in the Inspector Devlin series.
When Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin is summoned to a burning barn, he finds inside the charred remains of local drug dealer, Martin Kielty. It soon becomes clear that Kielty’s death was no accident, and suspicion falls on a local vigilante group. Former paramilitaries, this group of men call themselves The Rising.
Meanwhile, a former colleague’s teenage son has gone missing during
a seaside camping trip. Devlin is relieved when the boy’s mother, Caroline Williams, receives a text message from her son’s phone, and so when a body is reported, washed up on a nearby beach, the inspector
is baffled.
When another drug dealer is killed, Devlin realizes that the spate of deaths is more complex than mere vigilantism. But just as it seems he is close to understanding the case, a personal crisis will strike at the heart of his own family, and he will be forced to confront the compromises his career has forced upon him.
Gripping, heartbreaking, and always surprising, The Rising is a tour de force and is Brian McGilloway’s most personal novel so far.
“McGilloway has created a truly human and original police officer, flawed, maverick, and vulnerable, and a clever web of intrigue that deepens—and darkens—as it twists. “
—Peter James, bestselling author of Dead Tomorrow
Brian McGilloway was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1974, and teaches English at St Columb’s College. He lives near the Irish borderlands, with his wife and their three sons.
