Sono passati due anni da quando l'ex detective Cal Hooper si è trasferito nella contea irlandese di Ardnakelty in cerca di tranquillità. Ha trovato qualcosa che ci va molto vicino: una casa che è diventata un rifugio e una relazione con una donna del posto, Lena, che lo fa stare bene. Poi c'è il suo legame con Trey, l'adolescente ruvida e selvaggia che sta cercando di proteggere. Ma adesso che dopo anni di silenzio è ricomparso suo padre, Trey non vuole nessuna protezione. Vuole solo vendetta.

Dopo venticinque anni di pattuglie sulle strade di Chicago, Cal Hooper ha trovato un cottage sotto una distesa di stelle selvagge. Adesso la cosa più rischiosa che fa è bere due pinte la sera al pub. Ma qualcuno tra la gente del posto lo tiene d'occhio e il suo idillio ha le ore contate. All'inizio, sentendo i rumori in giardino, ha pensato a un animale. Poi, una sera, dopo aver trovato le impronte delle scarpe da ginnastica, lo ha sorpreso. È poco più di un bambino, eppure ostinato e testardo come un adulto.

Un thriller dai meccanismi perfetti che lascia con il fiato sospeso e indaga la fragile costruzione delle nostre identità. La detective Cassie Maddox è stata trasferita dalla squadra omicidi di Dublino, ma nel cuore della notte riceve una telefonata dal suo vecchio capo Frank Mackey: una giovane donna è stata trovata uccisa, pugnalata al petto, in un cottage diroccato della campagna irlandese. Un caso come tanti, non fosse che la vittima assomiglia in modo sorprendente a Cassie, quasi una sosia, e si chiama, stando ai documenti che le trovano addosso, Lexie Madison.

Il detective Stephen Moran lavora ai Casi Freddi con un unico obiettivo, entrare a far parte della Omicidi della polizia di Dublino. Quello che gli serve è soltanto un'occasione e quando Holly Mackey si presenta nel suo ufficio, sembra che quel momento sia arrivato. Holly ha nuove informazioni sul caso di un ragazzo trovato ucciso l'anno prima nel collegio più prestigioso d'Irlanda. L'indagine, subito riaperta, viene affidata a Moran e Conway, una collega tutt'altro che facile da gestire. Gli indizi portano alla scuola di Holly, alla vita segreta delle ragazze.

Scorcher Kennedy is given the case because he is the Murder squad's star detective. At first he and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple one: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his children, tried to kill his wife Jenny, and finished off with himself.
