Murder at Pooks Castle
(2026)(The third book in the Commandant de Bruin and Inspector Muldoon mysteries series)
A novel by Alex Cardo
A body at the base of the cliffs. A whispered confession: "I was pushed." A castle hiding deadly secrets.
When a body is discovered at the foot of the cliffs below Pooks Castle in Donegal, it appears to be a tragic accident until the victim’s dying words reveal the chilling truth: murder.
Superintendent Muldoon assigns the case to retired army intelligence officer Commandant de Bruin, whose long-standing connection to the wealthy and influential Pooks family makes him the perfect consultant. But as de Bruin delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a tangled web of family secrets, forbidden romances, and a disturbing pattern of past victims.
With every revelation, the list of suspects grows longer and the castle's dark history becomes impossible to ignore. In a place where loyalty and deception are two sides of the same coin, can de Bruin expose the killer before they strike again?
A gripping Irish mystery where nothing and no one is quite what they seem.
