The picture postcard town of Blackwater might be a pastoral idyll for some – but it’s hell on earth for DI Fia Lucey. Facing disciplinary charges for assaulting a violent criminal, Fia has reluctantly returned home to a town she left many years before. She starts investigating the recent disappearance of hotelier Roisin Hurley, a case everyone else seems strangely reluctant to pursue. After Roisin’s body is pulled out of the lake, sordid secrets emerge. Who was Roisin protecting? Was she a victim of sexual abuse or a sinister collaborator? And could there be a connection between these shocking crimes and the traumatic events of Fia’s childhood?
