No Simple Death

A detective follows a case from Dublin to Cornwall—but the suspect keeps disappearing into the mist . . .


When Detective Garda Sergeant Mike West is called to investigate a murder in a Dublin graveyard, suspicion immediately falls on a local woman, Edel Johnson, whose husband disappeared some months before. But then she vanishes.



Evidence leads West to a small village in Cornwall, but when he checks in to an inn, he finds Edel has arrived ahead of him. Her explanation seems to make sense, but just as West begins to think his suspicions of her are unfounded, she disappears again.



Is she guilty? West, fighting an unsuitable attraction, doesn't want to believe it. But the case against her is growing. Back in Dublin, his team uncovers evidence of blackmail and illegal drugs connected to Edel's missing husband. When another man is murdered, she once again comes under suspicion. West knows he has to untangle the truth—but it may not be the truth he wants to hear . . .
