““Compelling...a solid choice for readers who enjoy Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad series.” —Booklist”
““A riveting, breathless novel, equal parts police procedural and emotional personal journey. Karen Ellis’s twisty plot, dark storytelling, and nail-biting action kept me reading far too late into the night. A triumph!”
—Karen Dionne, author of THE MARSH KING’S DAUGHTER”
