A man is found dead after a house fire. Detective Fiona Moore suspects foul play.

It’s not the charred remains of Tony Phelan that really trouble Dublin law enforcement or the traces of accelerant, so much as the bullet hole in his chest.

When a weapon is recovered at the back of the still-smouldering house, it will be the first clue that the death is connected to China.

And when Phelan is identified as an airport worker, the investigation begins to focus on suspicious goings-on in relation to a regular A300 freight flight from Shanghai.

But pointing the finger at the Chinese is all the rage and maybe detectives have just been led up the garden path. Could the proximity of the victim’s house to prime development land be more relevant?
Someone has clearly sought to gain from Phelan’s death, but the detectives’ job would be easier if they could clarify the motive. Enter a mysterious agent from the US and this case gets enormously tricky for detectives Fiona Moore and Aidan Burke to solve.

THE CHINA CHAPTER is the third book in bestselling Irish author David Pearson’s new crime fiction series, The Dublin Homicides. It can be enjoyed as a standalone but look out for the first two books: A FATAL LIAISON and A DEADLY DIVIDEND.

All of these books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited. The first two are available now in paperback.

A murder, a change of identity, a missing au pair, and a wad of cash to find the culprit.

University professor and part-time private investigator Perry Webster takes on a new assignment when he gets an offer he can’t refuse.

A previously unknown member of his wife’s family turns up out of the blue with a strange request to investigate a murder that occurred some fifty years ago.

His wife’s cousin’s father fled England after his own wife was murdered. He professed his innocence, but having handled the murder weapon, and having had an affair with the au pair, the odds were stacked against him proving his case.

With the promise of a payment of a million pounds if he can find the guilty party, Perry begins to dig around in the past. But despite the events having occurred many moons ago, his exploration will ruffle some feathers and rattle a few skeletons in the closet.

Can Perry crack a case involving wealthy people who have everything to lose? Or will his amateur sleuthing put him and his wife at serious risk?

REDHEAD is the fourth book to feature university professor turned private eye, Perry Webster. It can be enjoyed entirely on its own or as part of the series.

Following a double murder, the residents of a small Irish town refuse to give up their secrets.
“This book brims with subtle Irish humour.”

DI Robert Carroll hates rural Magnerstown with a passion. So he’s none too pleased when sent there on a murder investigation.

Two bodies have been fished out of a wishing well that is earmarked to be developed as a tourist attraction.

With more reluctance than a dog on a visit to the vets, Carroll interviews the townsfolk. But his inquiries are not well received.

In fact, Carroll and his assistant – the bright spark, James Sayder – are soon dubbed the local Keystone Cops.

It turns out the bodies are those of two local troublemakers, who no one will miss. Not even their mother, it would seem.

As the investigation inches forward, Carroll slides into a malaise. Increasingly at odds with everyone around him, he is in danger of scuppering the whole case.

Can his assistant, James, step up to the plate to save the day? Or, in the face of the apparent incompetence of the police, will more bodies be found?

THE MYSTERY OF SUNDAYS WELL is a standalone murder mystery. However, readers will also enjoy DEATH IN MAGNERSTOWN in which cantankerous DI Robert Carroll and his intelligent sidekick James Sayder appear for the first time.

Both of these books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited.

MURDER ON THE OLD BOG ROAD by David Pearson

Just 99p/99c for launch!

A woman is found dead in a ditch. As the list of suspects grows, a town’s dirty secrets are revealed.

It’s a cold winter evening and rain is sweeping in from the Atlantic when a young woman, having braved the weather to visit her sick mother in a remote part of Ireland , comes across an obstacle in the road. She clears the highway of stones from a damaged bridge only to see the body of a woman in a ditch. With no phone reception, she travels to the nearest police station to report what she has found.

The local Garda waste no time in attending the scene of the crime. The woman is clearly dead, but it needs proper forensics to establish if foul play was the cause. In the meantime, is it not possible that the woman driver was in fact the culprit? She is clearly not telling the whole truth.

A game of cat and mouse ensues when the inquiry is upgraded to a murder investigation. The trouble is, when the victim is recognised as a sex worker, there is no shortage of possible suspects. And few of them, if any, are willing to tell the truth to the police. It will take all of Galway detectives Hays and Lyons’ experience to cut through the web of lies and identify the killer in their midst.

MURDER ON THE OLD BOG ROAD is the first in a series of atmospheric crime fiction titles featuring Detective Inspector Mick Hays and Detective Sergeant Maureen Lyons. The second book, UNEQUAL SHARES, will be released in April, 2018. MURDER ON THE OLD BOG ROAD will appeal to fans of Val McDermid, Stuart McBride and Pete Brassett.
