"Character-driven mystery at its best!"
In an Irish castle hotel, a famous rap artist is found dead. Mystery, suspense and laugh-out-loud moments, as Madam Tulip (aka out-of-luck actress Derry O’Donnell) tells fortunes for the rich and famous and stumbles into a tangled web of crime and intrigue.

A glamorous supermodel. Her racehorse-owning husband. A pop star couple with a taste for cocaine. Add a friend with a talent for trouble, and the reader is in for a mystery adventure that's gripping and funny.

About the Author

David Ahern grew up in a theatrical family in Ireland. He worked as a stagehand, a piano mover, a research psychologist and an IT guy before becoming a television writer, director and producer. He created international documentary series and won numerous awards, none of which got him free into nightclubs.

He played in great bands, all doomed to obscurity, and wrote equally obscure plays before taking to novel-writing. He now creates the Madam Tulip mysteries, mostly to make himself laugh and scratch his head. David Ahern loves pretending this is actual work.

David lives in the beautiful West of Ireland with his wife, a cat, a tame pheasant, a clan of badgers and a vegetable garden.
