THE MASTERFUL RICHARD & JUDY PICK, FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

WINNER OF THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS CRIME FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR

-------------------------------------------------------

You can beat one killer. Beating your own squad is a different story . . .

Being on the Dublin Murder squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed. Her working life is a stream of thankless cases and harassment. Antoinette is tough, but shes getting close to the breaking point.

Her latest case looks like a lovers quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond, pretty and lying dead next to a table set for a romantic dinner. Theres nothing unusual about her - except that Antoinette has seen her somewhere before.

And her death wont stay neat. Other detectives want her to arrest Aislinns boyfriend, fast. Theres a shadowy figure at the end of Antoinettes road. And everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further from the simple woman she seemed to be.

Antoinette knows the harassment has turned her paranoid, but she cant tell just how far gone she is. Is this the case that will make her career - or break it?
