description: The first in a series of mysteries set in present day Ireland. An Irish Murder introduces detective Rupert Dunne, his assistant Murphy, and the scenery and people of West Cork. Irish detective Rupert Dunne lives a divided existence between a big city career in Dublin and lesser policing matters at home in County Cork. Now permanently estranged from his English wife and at a personal impasse, he finds himself contemplating the possibilities of early retirement. However, the usually peaceful countryside of southern Ireland has other things in store for him.  The puzzling murder of a beautiful American tourist in the seaside town of Kinsale unleashes a chain of events that quickly leaves another American as well as the town's most prominent citizen dead. With the aid of several past and present women in his life, Dunne is about to unravel a series of current murders that will finally solve the first homicide case of his career, result in a serious public romance with a colleague, and touches upon a century old mystery buried deep in the garden of Tarring Cottage.
