A man is found dead in a car park just metres from DCI Gawn Girvin’s home on Belfast Lough. The victim is an American writer traveling under a false name, killed by a single crossbow bolt. The only other clue: a handful of orange pips scattered across the floor of his hired car.
As Gawn Girvin digs into the dead man’s past, she uncovers a secretive group bound by the events of one terrible night twenty years ago. And a ruthless figure who has spent two decades making sure that history stays buried.
Then her husband Seb vanishes without warning.
Now Gawn must face a chilling possibility: the man she loves is either the killer’s next victim — or something far worse.
With a mastermind pulling the strings, her colleagues no longer sure whose side she is on, and her career in ruins, Gawn has never been in greater danger.
And this time, the threat is frighteningly close to home.
