4.0 out of 5 stars McGarr and the Siense Conspiracy, Sep 10 2001
By Shannon M. Scott "shannon_scott" (Decatur, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mcgarr And The Sienese Conspiracy (Paperback)
When the corpse of a retired British civil servant found on a remote Irish farm turns out to actually have been a retired head of Britain's Secret Intelligence Services, and when a second murder victim turns up on the same remote Irish farm and is also found to have been yet another former head of the same agency, Inspector Peter McGarr has more than a mere coincidence on his hands. He finds himself following a trail of spies and assassins from Britain to Italy in search of the truth.

McGarr believes that Britain's new Amabassador to Italy (the current head of the same Secret Service), and his beautiful Italian wife, may be the next in line for an assasin's bullet.

Originally published in the mid-seventies, this Peter McGarr mystery focuses on risky and lucrative North Sea oil exploration as well as Italy's volatile mix of politics and passion. Set against the backdrop of Siena and its festive Palio (an ancient horse-race run through the streets), McGarr and the Siense Conspiracy is certainly one of the most exotically-located of this very Irish flavored series.

Somewhat dated in that not all of the characters are exactly politically correct in their speech, this is still a very entertaining and somewhat exciting entry in the series. The feel of this novel is more that of a cold war spy thriller than the usual police procedural.
