Love crime fiction? If the words “Irish crime fiction” make you shiver in anticipation, you won’t want to miss this. Award-winning writer Eoghan Egan’s debut novel, Hiding in Plain Sight, will be released on January 11, 2020
Hiding in Plain Sight by Eoghan Egan
A vicious serial killer roams the Irish Midlands, with his sights set on the next victim.
A successful businessman has found the perfect recipe for getting away with murder.
No bodies, no evidence.
No evidence, no suspect.
High art and low morals collide when graduate Sharona Waters discovers a multi-million euro art scam in play. She delves in, unwittingly putting herself on a direct trajectory with danger as the killer accelerates his murder spree. When Sharona gets drawn into the killer’s orbit, she peels away his public persona and exposes the psychopath underneath. Suddenly, the small town has no hiding place…
About the book launch:
This novel sounds terrific, doesn’t it? But the news gets even better! If you’re in Ballinasloe (alas, I am not), the book launch party is this Saturday, January 11th, 2020, at The Shearwater Hotel at 6 pm.
And for those of us who won’t be able to fly to Ireland before Saturday, here’s a bit of consolation: It’s the first in a crime fiction trilogy! And it’s available on Amazon for your Kindle device. (See details below.)
