When competing card sharps stir up Siobhán O'Sullivans quiet Irish village, a poker tournament turns into a game of Hangman . . .In the small village of Kilbane in County Cork, for a cuppa tea or a slice of brown bread, you go to Naomis Bistro, managed by the many siblings of the lively O'Sullivan brood. For a pint or a game of darts-or for the poker tournament that's just come to town-its the pub you want.One players reputation precedes him: Eamon Foley, a tinker out of Dublin, called the Octopus for playing like he has eight hands under the table. But when Foley is found at the end of a rope, swinging from the rafters of Rory Macks pub, its time for the garda to take matters into their own hands. Macdara Flannery would lay odds its a simple suicide-after all, theres a note and the room was locked. But Siobhán suspects foul play, as does Foleys very pregnant widow. Perhaps one of Foleys fellow finalists just raised the stakes to life and death.With conflicting theories on the crime-not to mention the possibility of a proposal-tensions are running high between Siobhán and Macdara. Soon its up to Siobhán to call a killers bluff, but if she doesnt play her cards right, she may be the next one taken out of the game . . .
