Full publisher description

In a small town, it's impossible to hide...Two decades after she left Ireland, Leah Ryan is back. She knows she won't get a welcome reception in her hometown of Dungarry, but she's finally ready to face up to the events that forced her to leave as a teenager.

As she arrives home, another tragedy is waiting for Leah - her first love, Eamon Longeran, has been found brutally murdered.

At first, Eamon's murder appears unrelated to Leah's past. But in a small town like Dungarry, everything is connected and everyone has secrets. Sometimes there's only one way to ensure the truth stays buried.

A tense and emotional thriller set in Ireland. Perfect for fans of Claire McGowan and Patricia Gibney.
