Publisher Description

'With her third novel Dervla McTiernan confirms she's a born storyteller' Val McDermid

The unputdownable no.1 bestseller from the author of The Ruin and The Scholar.

Police corruption, an investigation that ends in tragedy and the mystery of a little girl's silence - three unconnected events that will prove to be linked by one small town.

While Detective Cormac Reilly faces enemies at work and trouble in his personal life, Garda Peter Fisher is relocated out of Galway with the threat of prosecution hanging over his head. But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.

For some, like Anna and her young daughter Tilly, Roundstone is a refuge from trauma. But even this village on the edge of the sea isn't far enough to escape from the shadows of evil men.

Bk 3 in series

Really enjoyed this book and whole series
Easy to read crime fiction with great characters
Well worth a look

A Life Well Read ,

A Good Turn

A slow, almost predictable start for the main character, very similar circumstances as the two previous novels. However, the story developed very well, included some good twists with a satisfying conclusion. I am now looking forward to the next novel in the Corman Reilly series.
