When a motorway collision leaves three dead, DCI Brendan Moran is called in to assist. But one of the victims was already dead before the crash-and the lorry involved raises more questions than answers.   As Moran digs deeper, connections surface: a stolen van, a missing driver, and a string of similar deaths from Scotland to the South Coast. Then comes a troubling lead-the name of an undercover agent who vanished without a trace. Samantha Grant isn't just a missing colleague. She's part of Moran's past.   When traces of Semtex are found in the wreckage, the investigation stretches to Rotterdam and a smuggling network that crosses borders and buries secrets. This time, the threat is closer than Moran realizes.   When Stars Grow Dark is the seventh novel in The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series-a gritty British detective mystery perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, and the Shetland TV series.   _________________________________________Praise for The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series:?????Ranks up there with the masters and must be destined for a TV series.   ?????So many twists and turns that I could hardly put it down.   ?????Gripped by the grizzled Irish detective!?????Well-written, tight plotting and pacing, snappy dialogue, well-developed, likeable characters, and a cracking good mystery.   ?????Great British Mystery!?????He's honest and upstanding.He has a line he won't cross, even though he comes close from time to time.   ?????A really great read in a genre I love-the atmospheric British murder mystery!?????Moran's mind is as sharp as ever.leading us through the crime while exposing us to his inner turmoil and self-doubt.   ?????Tautly-woven story, making you want to do something violent to the bad guys while yelling at the good guys to do something.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott Hunter","offers":[{"title":"300 pages \/ 09\/04\/2026 \/ Thriller \/ suspense","offer_id":56973175193975,"sku":"9781036709198","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781036709198","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
