The Gun
by Daithi Kavanagh
Garda Detective Tadhg Sullivan leads a
special unit that investigates politically motivated crime. A man known only as
The Deerstalker is a cancer who has infected the Irish political system.
Sullivan teams up with journalist Helen
Carty, and together they try tracking down the mysterious killer. Carty adds to
Sullivan’s problems, when he finds himself falling in love with her. And
further complicating things, he starts losing trust in his partner, Detective
Pat Carter, who appears to be on the side of the Garda Commissioner, who
Sullivan is rapidly falling out with.
Sullivan’s case is further thrown into
confusion when a copycat killer, Tommy Walsh, is shot dead by the CIA. When the
CIA discovers that they've killed the wrong person, the two agents
involved--Simon, who has become disillusioned by his time stationed in the
Middle East, and Joey, a psychopath who confuses zealotry with patriotism--are
also in pursuit of The Deerstalker.
Sullivan finds himself in a race
against time, if he is to arrest The Deerstalker before the CIA take him out,
and use his death as a pawn in a political game of chess. Who will win out in
the end?
After
parking, he walked through the forest to a clearing, where he knew he could see
for miles. He crawled on his belly along a flat piece of rock, dragging the gun
with him. The glow was coming off it again, and he could feel its strength. He stared
out over the side of the cliff. Once again, he was in luck. He could see the squad
cars and a crowd of people gathered around the bungalow a few hundred yards
away.
Adrenaline
pumped through his body. His heart felt like it would burst from his chest. He
put the gun to his shoulder and adjusted the sight, scanning the group of people
to find his target. There he was, right in the middle of the Gardaí. How predictable
of a politician. The only time they stand with the people is during an election.
He stared through the lens at the big red face.
