In the Woods

MURDER BRINGS BACK MEMORIES . . .

You're twelve years old. You're playing in th woods with your two best friends. Something terrible happens. And the other two are never seen again.

Twenty years on, Rob Ryan - the child who came back - is a detective in the Dublin police force. He's changed his name. No one knows about his past. Even he has no memory of what happened that day. Then a little girl's body is found at the site of the old tragedy and Rob is drawn back into the mystery. For him and his DI partner, Cassie, every lead comes with sinister undercurrents. Rob's own private enquiries are taking a toll on his mind.

And every trail leads inexorably back . . . into the woods.

'This astonishing first novel weaves a web of intrigue to confound even the most astute: and its denouement, swift, shocking and sublimely executed, will remain with the reader long after the final page has been turned.' Sunday Indepedent
