One of them is coming home. Both of them are coming to get rich. One of them is coming to die. \nCal 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. \nFrom 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. \n\nGet the E-BookDONATE NOW and download your e-book copy. \n\n“This hushed suspense tale about thwarted dreams of escape may be her best one yet . . . Its own kind of masterpiece.” –Maureen Corrigan\, The Washington Post \n“A new Tana French is always cause for celebration . . . Read it once for the plot; read it again for the beauty and subtlety of French’s writing.” –Sarah Lyall\, The New York Times \nCal Hooper thought a fixer-upper in a bucolic Irish village would be the perfect escape. After twenty-five years in the Chicago police force and a bruising divorce\, he just wants to build a new life in a pretty spot with a good pub where nothing much happens. But when a local kid whose brother has gone missing arm-twists him into investigating\, Cal uncovers layers of darkness beneath his picturesque retreat\, and starts to realize that even small towns shelter dangerous secrets. \n“One of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox) weaves a masterful\, atmospheric tale of suspense\, asking how to tell right from wrong in a world where neither is simple\, and what we stake on that decision. \n\nGuest Biography:\nTana French\nTana French is the New York Times bestselling author of nine books\, including In the Woods\, The Likeness\, and The Searcher.
