“Extraordinary.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
“Hailed as the queen of Irish crime fiction, French spins a taut tale of retribution, sacrifice, and family.”—TIME
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Searcher and “one of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox), a spellbinding new novel set in the Irish countryside.
It’s a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland. One of them is coming home. Both of them are coming to get rich. One of them is coming to die.
Cal Hooper took early retirement from Chicago PD and moved to rural Ireland looking for peace. He’s found it, more or less: he’s built a relationship with a local woman, Lena, and he’s gradually turning Trey Reddy from a half-feral teenager into a good kid going good places. But then Trey’s long-absent father reappears, bringing along an English millionaire and a scheme to find gold in the townland, and suddenly everything the three of them have been building is under threat. Cal and Lena are both ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey, but Trey doesn’t want protecting. What she wants is revenge.
From the writer who is “in a class by herself,” (The New York Times), a nuanced, atmospheric tale that explores what we’ll do for our loved ones, what we’ll do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide.

“Hailed as the queen of Irish crime fiction, French spins a taut tale of retribution, sacrifice, and family.”—Time
“A singularly tense and moody thriller . . . Exceptional . . . By now, any reader who still thinks French should follow the rules doesn't deserve her remarkable novels.”—The Washington Post
“The secretive village is a trope as old as mysteries—as old as humanity itself. But French does more than show the banal evil behind a smiling face. She makes it particular as a kicked dog's limp and dying embers in a steel barrel—and reminds us that we underestimate such places at our peril.”—The New York Times

What a fantastic book!!! One of my favorites I’ve read this year.
Everything about it was fantastic! Great characters, perfect pacing, perfect narration!! I couldn’t be happier about this book! It’s everything you would want in a story. I can’t wait to forget enough of it so I can listen to it again. I hope there is more in this series but if there isn’t that’s okay too. It ended perfectly. And of course I’ll buy the next Tana French book regardless.

Superb Narrator
I discovered Tana French years ago. A very skilled writer, the settings, characters and I'm easy, natural dialogue create magical, but also realistic stories.
Listening on Audible enhances the reading experience. Easily my favorite author, I'll be looking for other Tana French novels to read "Audibly."
