Mystery Police Procedural
The snow ceased as the assistant state pathologist
arrived, black medical bag in hand. I stood by the river as
she worked, and watched the sun exploding low over the
horizon. Winter 2002. The corpse of local teenager
Angela Cashell is found on the Tyrone-Donegal border,
between the North and South of Ireland, in an area known as
the Borderlands. Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin heads the
investigation. The only clues are a gold ring placed on the
girl’s finger and an old photograph, left where she died.
While Devlin searches for the girl’s killer, her
father has his own ideas about who is responsible—and his
own ideas about how to make them pay. Meanwhile, Devlin
becomes reacquainted with an old flame eager to rekindle
their affair. Then another teenager is murdered, and
Devlin unearths a link between the recent killings and the
disappearance of a prostitute twenty-five years earlier—a
case in which he fears one of his own colleagues is
implicated. As a thickening snow storm blurs the border
between North and South, Devlin finds the distinction
between right and wrong, vengeance and justice, and even
police officer and criminal becoming equally
unclear. A dazzling and highly lyrical debut crime
novel, Borderlands marks the beginning of a
compelling new series featuring Inspector Benedict Devlin.
