Luke Kelly is struggling to make a go of his private investigation business when, out of the blue, an unsolved murder case drops into his lap. The police have made no progress on the Harry Cross murder in a year of trying. Despite the plethora of suspects and the dearth of evidence, the murky motives of the client, and the unresolved issues in their private lives, Luke and his partner, Ronnie, jump at the chance to solve this famous mystery. But Luke soon finds the rich and powerful Cross family are not all happy to have the case revived – and nor are the cops. When connections to organised crime gangs and neo-Nazi politics emerge, Luke and Ronnie find themselves in mortal danger yet again, and, like the police before them, at a loss to understand who killed Harry Cross.
Bright City Dark Love is the third novel in the Luke Kelly crime series.
