Declan HughesCity of Lost Girls March 29, Harper Paperbacks 2011 0061689912 / 9780061689918 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release date* Larger-than-life Irish movie director Jack Donovan has returned to Dublin to make a film, but he's emotionally rattled by cryptic, threatening messages. He seeks out his one-time friend, Dublin PI Ed Loy, for help. Loy signs on, but the disappearances of three beautiful young women from the setsomething that also happened when Donovan made films in LAtell Loy he's looking for a serial killer, and the killer is almost certainly Donovan or one of his faithful retinue, known to Tinseltown buffs as the Gang of Four. This is playwright Hughes' fourth Ed Loy novel, and his brilliant creation of the charismatic Donovan propels the story and also inhibits it. Donovan is “a carouser extraordinaire,” “a mad wayward bastard” who sings Puccini arias in pubs and mesmerizes nearly every character in the book. Not even the smart, formidable Loy is immune, and neither is the reader. Hughes also has great fun with famous Irish actors and the Hollywood movie industry, but here's hoping the next Loy story returns to its Irish roots. 9780061689918 0.00 Price:

A reputable dentist from a venerable medical family, Shane Howard wants Loy to find his lost daughter after receiving a set of photographs featuring nineteen-year-old Emily in provocative poses. But a simple missing persons case rapidly devolves into something even more sordid and grisly when two of the players are savagely slain. And it's only the beginning.
The Howard family is not what it seems. Beneath a veneer of wealth and respectability is a dark history of corruption and rot and secrets best left unearthed. By entering the Howards' vicious circle, Loy may find himself stained with the most corrosive and lethal type of blood - the kind that even death cannot eradicate. 9780060825508 0.00 Price:

After twenty years in Los Angeles, Ed Loy has come home to bury his mother. But hers is only the first dead body he encounters after crossing an ocean.
The city Loy once knew is an unrecognizable place, filled with gangsters, seducers, hucksters, and crazies, each with a scheme and an angle. But he can't refuse the sexy former schoolmate who asks him to find her missing husband - or the old pal-turned-small time criminal who shows up on Loy's doorstep with a hard-luck story and a recently fired gun. Suddenly, a tragic homecoming could prove fatal for the grieving investigator, as an unexplained photograph of his long-vanished father, a murky property deal, and a corpse discovered in the foundations of town hall combine to turn a curious case into a dark obsession - dragging Ed Loy into a violent underworld of drugs, extortion, and murder . . . and through his own haunted past where the dead will never rest. 9780060825478 0.00 Price:
