Chapter Twenty-one

When Lyons got to the Garda station in Mill Street, she wasted no time in getting down to business. She summoned Sally Fahy and Eamon Flynn into her office.

“Right, folks, I want to go over everything we know about this case and see if we can progress matters. There’s quite a bit of new information that has come to light. Why don’t you both grab a coffee, and get me one too, and we’ll make a start.”

Eamon Flynn left the room to see to their drinks.

“It’s good to have you back, boss. We were a bit all at sea here without you,” Fahy said.

“Thanks, Sally. It’s good to know I’m indispensable. But Superintendent Hays had my back in any case. I don’t think I was in any real danger of being booted out.”

“So, what’s the story on yer man in Clifden then?”

“Hang on till Eamon gets back and then all will be revealed,” Lyons said.

A few moments later, Eamon Flynn reappeared with three mugs of hot coffee and set two of them down in front of Fahy and Lyons.

“Thanks, Eamon. OK, well this is what we know. Adam Dunne, cleverly disguised as some sort of dealer, was actually working for MI5, the British security outfit. We’ll know more soon. There’s someone from there coming over to talk to Mick. But we can assume that Dunne had infiltrated some sort of international smuggling ring, and I guess someone must have discovered who he really was, and taken him out. Vincent Henderson is somehow involved too, but to what extent we don’t know; for now at least,” Lyons said.

“Yes, but what about the diamonds we found in Dunne’s car? Do you think he was skimming as well? It looks a bit like that,” Flynn said.

“Possibly,” Lyons said. “Or maybe they were just the proceeds of some deal or other and he was keeping them as evidence.”

“What about Dunne’s mobile phone?” Fahy asked.

“Cripes, I’d forgotten about that, and with Sinéad out of action as well, I don’t suppose anything has happened. Sally, can you give her a call when we’re finished here and let’s get moving on it,” Lyons said.

“Yes, sure, boss. But I think it’s fair to assume that the gang will probably go to ground for a while now after this. They’ll be in damage limitation mode for a while, so it’s going to be very hard to flush them out,” Fahy said.

“You could be right, Sally. But we still have one string to our bow,” Lyons said.

“What’s that?”

“Henderson. He doesn’t know I’m a cop. He chatted Sinéad and me up in the bar of the Alcock and Brown, but he didn’t get a look at us later when we were out at the coastguard station, at least I don’t think so. Maybe we could use that to our advantage.”

“Hm... sounds a bit dodgy, boss. What have you in mind?” Fahy said.

“Nothing yet. But he’s our only solid lead, and he definitely has something to hide.”

“Why don’t we do a
