The Irish Goodbye
When Anna, the enigmatic woman who portrait painter Sean Delaney has fallen in love with, goes missing, no one will help him find her. Before she vanished, Anna accused criminals of murdering her art-forger father James to stop him blabbing, and was convinced that corrupt police connived with them to suppress the true facts around his 'accidental' death. But by getting involved, Sean finds he has to straddle the wafer-thin line between agent provocateur and undercover agent, when he joins the team who are forging works of art, making enemies of criminals and police alike. Nothing is as it seems, there is no one he can trust, and after dicing with death and danger he finally discovers that the truth is more complex and chilling than he could ever have imagined.

This story opens with Sean Delaney attending the funeral of a friend and one time mentor, James Wilde, at which James’ daughter, Anna, announces that her father was murdered and the police won’t do anything about it. This is Sean’s cue to get involved with Anna. But it is not long before Anna goes missing and Sean will do anything to find her.
Sean is an artist, among other things, as was James and this story plunges into the belly of the art world, including forgeries and art theft scams that could bring the art world down.
Sean can be a tad naïve at times: when he gets enrolled by a police officer to work undercover is one example, his experiences with women, another. However, he is an extremely likeable character and you do root for him throughout this story. This is an entertaining thriller filled with plenty of plot, sub-plots, twists and turns as well as great characters.

An intriguing plot!
Some minor errors - eg incorrect character being named, some spelling errors (including in an Irish saying).
As an Irish person, I must admit that I've never heard of the Irish Goodbye!!
