Declan Hughes offers another look at modern Dublin's dark side in his latest suspense novel "The Price of Blood." Private eye Ed Loy is down on his luck and broke, so he has no choice but to take what seems to be an unsolvable missing persons case. All he's got to go on is "Father Vincent Tyrell," a priest who's been reported missing by his brother F.X., a prominent racehorse trainer. A bit of luck not only puts Loy on Father Vincent's trail, but also might very well implicate other members of the Tyrell family. As with Hughes' first Ed Loy book "The Wrong Kind of Blood," "The Price of Blood" is a fine page-turner, which provides a revealing look at the underside of Celtic Tiger Ireland.
