But they had no inkling of what that could be. Nearly two years later, Mary Lowry's brother-in-law Patrick Quirke found Ryan's body in a slurry tank on Lowry's farm, which he had been leasing. The gardaí were immediately suspicious of Quirke and embarked on an investigation that would reveal a tortured affair between him and Mary Lowry.

'The Murder of Mr Moonlight' is a fascinating account of the fated love triangle.
