After 25 years on the Chicago police force and a divorce, Cal Hooper decides to move to an Irish village. A local kid's brother is missing and he asks Cal to help find him. What Cal discovers is layers of darkness and secrets.
This is an atmospheric psychological tale but not much of a mystery. The story is slow getting started but French's prose is spellbinding. The characters are well-developed but I do miss the Dublin Murder Squad. I would sum up this book as not one of her best but still worth a read.
