Dublin Murder Squad: In the Woods

In the summer of 1984, as dusk descends upon a small suburb in Dublin, mothers begin calling their children home. However, on this warm evening, three children fail to return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they discover only one child, clutching a tree trunk in terror, with blood-soaked sneakers, unable to recall anything from the previous hours.

Fast forward twenty years, the boy who was found, now known as Rob Ryan, is a detective with the Dublin Murder Squad, keeping his past hidden. When a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, Ryan and his partner Detective Cassie Maddox embark on an investigation eerily reminiscent of the unsolved mystery from years before. With only fragmented memories guiding him, Ryan has the opportunity to unravel both the current case and his own shadowy past.

Imbued with rich atmosphere, intricately woven complexity, and relentless surprises, In the Woods is a debut novel from a remarkable voice in psychological suspense. Fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones are sure to be captivated by this chilling and gripping tale.
