A Dance with Death

An undercover hitman infiltrates an Irish drug gang to help a woman escape her violent husband in this vigilante thriller blending criminal turf wars with dry, dark humour.

Nick Hunter can walk away from a killing more easily than a woman in tears.

His latest job in Cork is finished. A good lunch and a flight home to Edinburgh should follow. Then Nick spots a woman on a bench with a black eye, and makes her troubles his business.

Saoirse Kelly wants her abusive husband out of her life permanently. Martin is a violent drug-gang enforcer, and leaving him means risking both her safety and her son’s. Nick agrees to help, even at a reduced fee.

Getting close enough to kill Martin means posing as a drug dealer and earning the gang’s trust. Nick heads to Limerick, where a turf war and a drug shipment offer him a chance to isolate his target.

But Martin anticipates the trap. Beneath the limestone landscape of western Ireland, Nick’s carefully planned hit becomes a fight to avoid being buried himself.
