- Book Synopsis
- 'To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer' GILLIAN FLYNN '[Crime fiction's] biggest contemporary star' GUARDIAN 'One of the finest writers of contemporary crime fiction' DAILY MAIL ------------------------------------------------------- The course of Frank Mackey's life was set by one defining moment when he was nineteen: the moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him to London as they had agreed. Frank never heard from her again. Twenty years on and he is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop, and has cut all ties with his dysfunctional family. Until his sister calls to say that Rosie's suitcase has been found. Stricken by the news, Frank embarks on a journey into his past that demands he reevaluate everything he believes to be true. ------------------------------------------------------- Praise for the talismanic Tana French and her novels 'I can do you no greater favour in life than recommending that you read her books' GUARDIAN 'The most interesting, the most important crime novelist to emerge in the last ten years' WASHINGTON POST 'The most breathtakingly brilliant and close-to-perfect thriller I've read for a long time' SOPHIE HANNAH 'I'm a big fan of Tana French' IAN RANKIN 'This is a tour de force of suspense and storytelling. Comes closer to perfection than anything I've read in the last decade' SARAH HILARY 'French offers a masterclass in unreliability' SUNDAY TIMES 'An audacious departure for this immensely talented author . . . not to be missed' NEW YORK TIMES 'A wonderfully assured and beautifully written debut novel' IRISH INDEPENDENT 'I didn't want it to end' HARRIET TYCE
