Publisher's Summary

The hauntingly atmospheric follow-up to the acclaimed crime debut, Where They Lie.

Dublin, summer 1970, and Nicoletta Sarto is juggling work as the women’s editor at the Irish Sentinel with two twin baby girls at home. When she’s approached by a barrister, Louise Leonard, whose aunt has just died, she’s drawn into a story that could have dangerous consequences. Was Helen Leonard murdered, as her niece thinks? And who was the mysterious nurse who has now vanished, but to whom Helen left everything? As Nicoletta investigates, she has to fight not only her own family’s disapproval of her being a working mother, but also society’s.

And as she slowly unpicks the mystery of Helen Leonard’s death, she’s unaware that danger lurks around the corner . . .
