Bad Policy

Seamus McCree is in hot water. Again.

It's the first "IRA six pack" since the 1970s and The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

In this second book in the Seamus McCree series, he returns home to discover his house has become a crime scene. The murder victim posed in his basement is an acquaintance who endured the six pack: bullets to his ankles, knees, and elbows.

Forced to prove his innocence, Seamus uncovers a twisted trail that leads back to his Boston roots. He's stunned to learn the truth about his father's death and the resulting divorce of Boston's Irish mafia and the Provisional IRA.

The more Seamus digs for the truth, the more his life unravels. As the body count climbs, all trails lead back to him, forcing Seamus underground to smoke out who is framing him — and why — before he becomes the next victim.

A protagonist in the tradition of Robert B. Parker, John Sandford, and William Kent Krueger, Seamus is a good guy willing to pay a price to bring justice to the world.
