The Hurler

Hurling, revenge, atonement, murder....

A missing man, a tenacious female sergeant, a murky world of criminal activity and murder, all set in motion when local family man and hurler Jim Rourke goes missing….

When family man and local hurler Jim Rourke goes missing in Oldcastle, a troubled call from his wife sends Sergeant Britney Kent delving into his disappearance. Initially, the incident is dismissed as trivial by her colleagues. However, when another man is found murdered at a local hurling field, his left knee smashed premortem, Britney is convinced there is a connection. This murder is closely followed by that of a high-profile sports correspondent, who strangely has also been kneecapped, and the connection is only reinforced.

With victims piling up, Britney finds herself on the trail of the sadistic killer known only as ‘The Courier.’

However, as Britney digs deeper, it is made clear her interference in the investigation is unwelcome. As deep suspicions of corruption and criminal connections come to light, 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.

With time running out, can Britney save this latest victim and in doing so, save her career?

In Jack Talbot's thriller 'The Hurler' we learn how the ancient surrogate for war is more than just a game. And that all may not be as it seems.
