SUNDAY TIMES
'This isn't just a mystery novel: it's a window into a vanished world'
TANA FRENCH

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.
Her body is never found.

Dublin, 1968
The bones of Julia Bridges are discovered in a back garden.
Nicoletta Sarto, an ambitious junior reporter for the Irish Sentinel , investigates the mystery of Julia's disappearance, drawing her into the tangled underworld of the illegal abortion industry.

But some stories remain a mystery for a reason, and it's not long before this one stirs up buried secrets from Nicoletta's own past. Secrets that perhaps should stay buried . . .
