The murder of an innocent shakes Ireland to its core.
Synopsis:
One cold January morning in 1980, on a beach in Kerry, the body of a newborn baby is found in its most sheltered sand dune. Local Garda Mary Shea is first on the scene.
Such a case calls for more than small town policing, and the Dublin major crimes team is brought in to take charge. But there's a way of doing things in Kerry, one which Mary understands well. And when she is able to get crucial female witnesses to cooperate, lead detective Matt Foley takes her under his wing. This is the biggest case of his career and he needs all the help he can get.
Mary finds more questions than answers and it becomes clear many locals conduct secret lives but who would do such a thing?

Review:
This series is set in the 1980s and for some it may be odd, that Mary has such a hard time. But for those that were in law enforcement during this time, especially in rural areas, it will all ring true. Due to Mary's local knowledge, she is taxed with helping the 'City detective' out. But what the local plods aren't expecting is for Matt to try to mentor Mary and help her expand her skillset. Together they start unearthing some secrets that some want kept hidden, and they both have targets upon them. With plenty of twists and turns, this is a great new series, and I can't read to read more in the series!
