From the bestselling author of What You Did comes a true-crime
investigation that cast a dark shadow over the Ireland of her
childhood. Ireland in the 1990s seemed a safe place for women. With
the news dominated by the Troubles, it was easy to ignore
non-political murders and sexual violence, to trust that you
weren't going to be dragged into the shadows and killed. But
beneath the surface, a far darker reality had taken hold. Through
questioning the society and circumstances that allowed eight young
women to vanish without a trace no conclusion or conviction, no
resolution for their loved ones bestselling crime novelist Claire
McGowan delivers a candid investigation into the culture of
secrecy, victim-blaming and shame that left these women's bodies
unfound, their fates unknown, their assailants unpunished. McGowan
reveals an Ireland not of leprechauns and craic but of outdated
social and sexual mores, where women and their bodies were of
secondary importance to perceived propriety and misguided
politics-a place of well-buttoned lips and stony silence,
inadequate police and paramilitary threat. Was an unknown serial
killer at large or was there something even more insidious at work?
In this insightful, sensitively drawn account, McGowan exposes a
system that failed these eight women-and continues to fail women to
this day.
