Description
When DCI Brendan Moran is called to defuse a potential suicide, he's blindsided by the man's final words-and the ghost they resurrect. Liam Doherty, tormented by guilt and driven by justice, recognizes Moran and accuses him of a betrayal born in the bloodshed of 1970s Northern Ireland.
The encounter reopens scars Moran thought had long since healed. As he digs into the ambush that changed his life, he uncovers a dark web of deception, fractured loyalties, and secrets that powerful men would do anything to keep buried.
With a lost friend reemerging and the line between truth and memory fraying, Moran must decide how far he's willing to go to uncover the past. Because some ghosts refuse to rest-and some enemies are closer than you think.
The Enemy Inside is the sixth novel in The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series-a taut, atmospheric British detective mystery perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart Neville, and Line of Duty.

Praise for The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series:
Ranks up there with the masters and must be destined for a TV series.
So many twists and turns that I could hardly put it down.
Gripped by the grizzled Irish detective!
Well-written, tight plotting and pacing, snappy dialogue, well-developed, likeable characters, and a cracking good mystery.
Great British Mystery!
He's honest and upstanding...He has a line he won't cross, even though he comes close from time to time.
A really great read in a genre I love-the atmospheric British murder mystery!
Moran's mind is as sharp as ever...leading us through the crime while exposing us to his inner turmoil and self-doubt.
Tautly-woven story, making you want to do something violent to the bad guys while yelling at the good guys to do something.
