The masterful Richard & Judy pick from the Sunday Times bestselling author, winner of the Irish Book Awards Crime Fiction Book of the Year. 'A truly great writer' - Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl. 'One of the best crime writers working today' - Guardian. You can beat one killer, but beating your own squad is a whole other thing. Being on the Dublin Murder Squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed. Her working life is a stream of thankless cases and harassment. Antoinette is tough, but she's getting close to the breaking point. The new case looks like a regular lovers' quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond, pretty, and lying dead next to a table set for a romantic dinner. There's nothing unusual about her, except that Antoinette has seen her somewhere before. And her death won't stay neat. Other detectives want her to arrest Aislinn's boyfriend, fast. There's a shadowy figure.
