2020 "This hushed suspense tale about thwarted dreams of escape may
be her best one yet...its own kind of masterpiece." --Maureen
Corrigan, The Washington Post A "taut, chiseled and propulsive"

class by herself." (The New York Times) Cal Hooper thought a
fixer-upper in a bucolic Irish village would be the perfect escape.
After twenty-five years in the Chicago police force and a bruising

uncovers layers of darkness beneath his picturesque retreat, and
starts to realize that even small towns shelter dangerous secrets.
"One of the greatest crime novelists writing today" (Vox) weaves a
masterful, atmospheric tale of suspense, asking what we sacrifice
in our search for truth and justice, and what we risk if we don't.
