An immersive, literary thriller about an ambitious young female
journalist whose investigation of a long missing actress will take
her through the misty streets and tangled underworld of 1960s
Dublin--and force her to confront the dark, long buried secrets of
her own past. Some stories demand to be told. They keep coming
back, echoing down through the decades, until they find a teller .
. . Dublin, 1943. Actress Julia Bridges disappears. She was last
seen entering the house of Gloria Fitzpatrick, who is later put on
trial for the murder of a woman whose abortion she facilitated. But
it's never proved that Gloria had a hand in Julia's death--and
Julia's body has never been found. Gloria, however, is sentenced to
life in an institution for the criminally insane, where she's found
dead a few years later from an apparent suicide, and the truth of
what happened to Julia Bridges dies with her. Until . . . Dublin,
1968. Nicoletta Sarto is an ambitious junior reporter for the Irish
Sentinel when the bones of Julia Bridges are discovered in the
garden of a house on the outskirts of the city. Drawn into
investigating the 25-year-old mystery of Julia's disappearance and
her link to the notorious Gloria Fitzpatrick, Nicoletta becomes
immersed in the tangled underworld of the illegal abortion
industry, stirring up long-buried secrets from her own past. A
beautifully atmospheric, timely thriller, Where They Lie uses a
murder mystery as a lens to focus on the long struggle of women
fighting to achieve autonomy and succeed in a man's world.
