A paranoid former crime lord. A fixer who chops off a finger if you cheat at cards. A retired bagman who has short arms and long pockets. A corrupt Garda. A mercenary who wields a machete like it was just a toothpick. These are just some of the unsavoury characters encountered in THE MURK BENEATH, the debut novel from Irish writer Larkin Cunningham. When DI Michael Bosco chokes a suspected child killer into a coma, he is expelled from the Gardaí. Now lacking a purpose in life, Bosco gets a job offer he can't refuse from a supposedly retired gang boss. It's not long before he becomes the main suspect in a series of vigilante murders and survives an attempted hit. Under siege and emboldened, Bosco has some morally ambiguous choices to make: whether to play by the rules or take the law into his own hands. While The Murk Beneath deals with the darker side of human nature, it is sprinkled with a liberal dose of wry Irish humour.
