Synopsis

'Pacy and intense . . . kept me frantically turning pages till the nail-biting end' Andrea Mara

* * *

An au pair disappears in the heart of suburbia. When her body shows up, all eyes are on the only witness to her abduction, a two-year-old child.

Detective and expert witness interviewer Laura Shaw knows she is needed. But in the aftermath of a case that nearly broke her, Laura questions if she can continue to do police work. Her partner, Detective Niamh Darmody, is on the case, but without Laura to rely on, she's struggling too.

When the discovery of a second body blows all their theories out of the water, Laura and Niamh must accept that the killer is poised to strike again.

All they know is that he is tantalisingly close, hidden in plain sight. But they won't see him - not until he wants them to . . .

* * *

'Enthralling . . . a real page-turner, a modern Irish crime epic that will have you rooting for Laura and Niamh right to the very end' Hot Press

'A highly empathetic writer . . . a well-crafted, character-driven thriller, set in a suburban milieu worthy of Andrea Mara . . . for anyone missing Tana French's Dublin Murder series' Irish Examiner

'A fantastically thrilling police procedural with two feisty, believable female leads.' Jo Spain
