From the New York Times bestselling author of The Hunter and the "queen of Irish crime fiction" (Time), an atmospheric tale of buried secrets, betrayals, and a small town on the brink of implosion On a quiet night in a remote Irish village, a girl turns up dead in a river. The truth behind her death could bring the town down with her. Cal Hooper, a former Chicago detective who moved to West Ireland in search of a quieter life, has mostly been able to sidestep the local drama. His days have fallen into a simple rhythm, sharing his fixer-upper with his fiancée, Lena, and the once-feral Trey Reddy, who he's helped raise to be a fierce and headstrong teenager. But when a seedy businessman and his hot-tempered son start snapping up land across the countryside, the trio begin to suspect a connection between their scheme and the girl's death, plunging them unwillingly into the town's tangled web of vicious rumors and generations-old grudges. As tensions boil over, Cal must uncover the secrets that threaten to tear apart the village--and his loved ones' lives--before there's nothing left to save. "One of the greatest crime novelists writing today" (Vox) crafts a masterwork of suspense about the tragedies that bind us, the lengths we'd go to unearth the truth, and what's at stake when we let things go, bringing the story of one of her most beloved characters to a spellbinding conclusion.
