Synopsis:

DI Owen Sheen vowed never to return to Belfast, but he needs answers about his brother’s death. He is on loan from London’s Met to the Police Service of Northern Ireland, although before he can dig into the past, he must babysit DC Aoife McCusker on her first murder investigation.

As the case slides into chaos, can Sheen put his personal agenda aside? And will McCusker keep her job long enough to ensure that this first case is not her last?

Review

This is book 1 in this new series, and what a debut it is! Early on the reader can sense what is going to happen, but like a train wreck you can see from your front porch, you just CANT turn away, and will find yourself rapidly turning the pages, til you see if the end is what you think it will be (surprise- it just might NOT be what you think!). Full of red herrings, and a history lesson or two, this police procedural does double duty as a thriller, and will eagerly have you asking when the next entry will be in the series! Don't miss this one!
