The Wrong Kind of Blood by Declan Hughes

4.0

Ted Loy returns to Dublin after twenty years in Los Angeles for his mom's funeral. It's a rather maudlin homecoming which soon turns deadly as he hooks up with guys his age who are on both sides of the law. Dark family secrets impel Loy into looking where he shouldn't and Hughes has plenty of surprises in store for the reader, just one startling revelation after another. Lots of betrayal here but it's well written and Loy is the nice guy, pragmatic problem solver who every now and then needs to go on a bender. Definitely reading more from Declan Hughes.
