When family man and local hurler Jim Rourke goes missing in Oldcastle, a troubling call placed by his wife sends Sergeant Britney Kent delving into his strange disappearance.

When this killing is closely followed by the murder of a high-profile sports correspondent Britney finds herself on the trail of the sadistic killer known only as ‘The Courier’. With victim’s piling up it seems her only clues are the body parts he removes and delivers to future targets as a stark warning. However, as Britney digs deeper her superiors soon make it clear her interference in the investigation is unwelcome. With her life threatened, deep suspicion of corruption and criminal connections come to light, and Britney finds herself wondering who she can trust. Is the killer really one of her own? Only by unravelling the connection between the hurler, the criminal underworld and corruption at the highest levels, will the killer be revealed. But all is not what it seems, and for the grand finale, the killer plans one more execution as a parting and lasting legacy. With time running out can Britney save this not latest victim. And in doing so save her career.
Download or read book The Hurlers written by Paul Rouse and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1882, a letter was published in the Irish Times, lamenting the decline of hurling. The game was now played only in a few isolated rural pockets, and according to no fixed set of rules. It would have been absurd to imagine that, within five years, an all-Ireland hurling championship would be underway, under the auspices of a powerful national organization. The Hurlers is a superbly readable account of that dramatic turn of events, of the colourful men who made it happen, and of the political intrigues and violent rows that marked the early years of the GAA. From the very start, republican and ecclesiastical interests jockeyed for control, along with a small core of enthusiasts who were just in it for the sport. In this authoritative and seriously entertaning book, Paul Rouse shows how sport, culture and politics swirled together in a heady, often chaotic mix. 'Fascinating ... a brilliantly researched book on hurling in the early years of the GAA' Martin Breheny, Irish Independent

Book excerpt: Sean Og O hAilpin, the iconic hurler of his generation, tells his own story. Sean Og O hAilpin became synonymous with Cork hurling during a period when the Rebel County reached the highest of highs and was regularly gripped by controversy. Making his trademark barnstorming solo runs from left wing-back, Sean Og emerged as the lynchpin of the great group of Cork hurlers that won five Munster titles and three All-Irelands; in 1999 he contested All-Ireland finals in both codes. He was also central in standing up for players' rights against the Cork county board - a source of great controversy and two painful strikes. Now, Sean Og tells his own story in his own words - a story every GAA fan has been waiting to read. Full of frank insights, Sean Og's autobiography is not just an essential sporting story; it is an essential Irish story.
