As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, three children go into the wood behind their houses to play. Hours later, only one, twelve-year-old Adam Ryan, returns, mute and terrified, his shoes filled with blood.
Twenty years later, Ryan, now a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and known as Rob, has kept his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, Rob and his partner find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the one they can’t remember.
A haunting, character-driven debut and the launch of the acclaimed Dublin Murder Squad series.
