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. Initially the incident is dismissed as trivial by her colleagues but when another man is found murdered at a local hurling field Britney is convinced there is a connection. 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.

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. 'A captivating tale of family, identity and belonging' Sunday Business Post 'Hugely enjoyable' Evening Echo 'A compelling, honest read that draws blood along the way ... a tale so rich that the wonder never leaves' Irish Daily Mail 'Riveting' Irish Daily Star 'Excellent ... a really enjoyable read' Christy O'Connor, Evening Echo 'This is Sean Og as he really is. Essential reading' Irish Examiner 'Sean Og's autobiography is a fine read. What an extraordinary figure he is' Sonia O'Sullivan
