THE CITY IN DARKNESS by MICHAEL RUSSELL

First review just in
01 September 2016

"The City in Darkness" Michael's third Stefan Gillespie novel is published on 3rd October by Constable/Little Brown. We're delighted that the first - of what we hope will be many - excellent review is on-line at http://www.shotsmag.co.uk/book_reviews_view.aspx?book_review_id=1485 "This book seems to have it all, political intrigue, espionage, murders and a missing person not to mention the Catholic Church. The third in the Stefan Gillespie series; Michael Russell really pulls out all the stops and heads full throttle into one of the most turbulent times in Irish history with this terrific read. This is a story that moves along at a pleasing pace with Gillespie trying to unravel the cold cases of the three dead women whilst also acting as security and aid to the Irish Ambassador to Spain. The ambassador, Leopold Kerney is working to obtain the release from a Spanish prison of a former leader of the IRA. It is a fascinating story blending historical events and characters with fictional ones. At one and the same time being a thriller, a detective story and a historical novel this book will appeal to many readers."
