The number one from Ireland: A crime novel and at the same time a touching story about love, mystery, and loss, with a dark undertone, subtle humor, and a deep affection for all the characters. Duneen is truly at the end of the world, right at the bottom of southern Ireland. Great dramas don’t unfold here, yet the people in Duneen could be a bit happier. Sergeant PJ Collins wasn’t always this overweight. Brid Riordan didn’t always drink. And Evelyn Ross once believed her life could have meaning. Then one day, bones are found on the Burke farm. Human bones. And the peace is over, for PJ and for all of Duneen. Old wounds are reopened, old lies come to light, new conflicts ignite, and while PJ tries to solve his first real case, he surprises many who thought they knew him – most of all, himself.
