Detective Joe Lucchesi is forced into a leave of absence from the NYPD following his involvement in the shooting of a kidnap suspect. After a year of frustration, he takes his wife and son and moves to Ireland. Soon afterward, his son's girlfriend is kidnapped. Joe has a bead on the villains and tries to convince the local cops that he's on the right track, but they give him the cold shoulder.
Its a simple little mystery that takes you through the vagaries of Irish culture and police politics. Makes a fine book for the beach.
