Tiny and Mirabeau haven't worked together before, but are pushed together by Marguerite on a mission for Lucian Argeneau. They must slip out of the Valentine's Day wedding of several pairs of family members to transport a package safely away from Lionius, a rogue vampire no-fanger, constantly causing mayhem and slaughter.
Tiny McGraw is used to investigating alongside women, as he usually works with his business partner Jackie. As an ex-linebacker he's used to being the muscle in the operation. Unfortunately, when you play or work with the vampire's you suddenly become the weak link in the chain.
Mirabeau La Roche has a tragic past where she lost her whole family to the greed and betrayal of a favorite uncle during the Massacres of St. Bartholomew. Saved by Lucian Argeneau from the same fate as her family, she's been an honorary member of the Argeneau family ever since, taken in and cared for by Marguerite, and as an enforcer for Lucian.
The mission sounds simple, to deliver a package undetected to Port Henry, only the package turns out to be a teenage girl named Stephanie, recently turned in an assault by the no-fangers and rescued by the Argeneau famil. Her partner on the mission is Tiny McGraw, who she knows little about, except the fact that Marguerite Argeneau set them up for the mission together, and where Marguerite goes, life-mate couples seem to appear in her wake.

Be careful who you love …
It’s the year 2000 and while Bunny McGarry is theoretically on sabbatical from the police, he just can’t help sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong.
Rosie Flint is an old acquaintance of Bunny’s whose boyfriend mysteriously disappears off the face of the Earth. What starts out as a simple missing person’s case soon gets a whole lot more complicated when it emerges that the boyfriend is not who he claimed to be and there are some rather sinister people showing an unhealthy interest in Rosie.
Bunny is only trying to help a friend but it’s just a matter of time before he finds himself at loggerheads with his colleagues on the force, having to reassess some events from his past and unwittingly involved in a major political coup.
He won’t be able to do this alone, so it is a good job he can call upon a certain band of kick-ass nuns to do what they do best. And he might even find a use for a twelve-year-old boy who is desperate to escape from an Irish language summer school.
Firewater Blues is the sixth book in McDonnell’s critically acclaimed bestselling and increasing inaccurately titled Dublin Trilogy. It mixes high-octane thrills with distinct Irish wit. Views: 375
