On a cold night in the remote Irish village of Ardnakelty, a girl goes missing.
Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, shes dead in the river.
In a place like this, her death isnt simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two.
Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakeltys tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart.
And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachels death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line . . .
