The hotly anticipated third novel of the Dublin murder squad
from the New York Times bestselling author
Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was nineteen, growing up poor in
Dublin's inner city, and living crammed into a small flat
with his family on Faithful Place. But he had his sights set
on a lot more. He and Rosie Daly were all ready to run away
to London together, get married, get good jobs, break away
from factory work and poverty and their old lives.
But on the winter night when they were supposed to leave,
Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd
dumped him-probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase
mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went
home again.
Neither did Rosie. Everyone thought she had gone to England
on her own and was over there living a shiny new life. Then,
twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up behind a
fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank
is going home whether he likes it or not.
Getting sucked in is a lot easier than getting out again.
Frank finds himself straight back in the dark tangle of
relationships he left behind. The cops working the case want
him out of the way, in case loyalty to his family and
community makes him a liability. Faithful Place wants him
out because he's a detective now, and the Place has never
liked cops. Frank just wants to find out what happened to
Rosie Daly-and he's willing to do whatever it takes, to
himself or anyone else, to get the job done.
