About this ebook

The course of Frank Mackey's life was set by one defining moment when he was nineteen. The moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him to London as they had planned. Frank never heard from her again. Twenty years on, Frank is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop. He's cut all ties with his dysfunctional family. Until his sister calls to say that Rosie's suitcase has been found. Frank embarks on a journey into his past that demands he reevaluate everything he believes to be true.

Ratings and reviews

Love the way the first person narrator of previous book ( Broken Harbour ) is seen by the protagonist in this one ( both with high opinions of themselves ) Also love the way it centres on Dublin, one of my favourite cities. Read this if you're tired of the same old same old, as I am, and want to get involved in an intelligently written gripping murder. Warning! I may be a tad biased as having seen Tana's profile I think I'm in love!!!! Seriously though read this and you'll want to read all the others.
