FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Haunting, atmospheric and gripping John Connolly, New York Times best-selling authorA beguiling heroine - clever, sympathetic and bearing a weight of guilt The TimesA womans body washes up on a remote beach on the Inishowen peninsula. Partially-clothed, with a strange tattoo on her thigh, she is identified as Marguerite Etienne, a French woman who has been living in the area. Solicitor Benedicta Ben OKeeffe is consumed by guilt; Marguerite was her client, and for the second time in her life Ben has failed someone who needed her, with tragic consequences. So when local Sergeant Tom Molloy dismisses Marguerites death as the suicide of a disturbed and lonely woman, Ben cannot let it lie. Ben uncovers Marguerites strange past as a member of a French doomsday cult, which she escaped twenty years previously but not without leaving her baby daughter behind. Disturbed by what appears to be chilling local indifference to Marguerites death, Ben pieces together the last few weeks of the French womans life in Inishowen. What she discovers causes her to question the fragile nature of her own position in the area, and she soon finds herself crossing boundaries both personal and professional to unearth local secrets long buried.Praise for Andrea CarterI adored this traditional crime novel; its modern day Agatha Christie with Ben as Miss Marple Irish ExaminerAtmospheric and vivid Irish TimesThe colourful cast of characters may be fictional, but the landscapes, towns and villages are instantly recognisable Irish Daily Mail. . . filled with well-drawn and engaging characters, lyrical descriptions of the stunning scenery, and intriguing mysteries to be unravelled . . . hugely enjoyable . . .
