VENGEANCE - Benjamin Black

























Why would a suicide need a witness?

On the east coast of Ireland Victor Delahaye, one of the country's most prominent citizens, takes his business partners son out sailing.  But once at sea, Davy Clancy is horrified to witness Delahaye take out a gun and shoot himself dead.
