Book description
For ten years, newly retired Policeman Michael McLoughlin has been
haunted by the case of a young woman brutally murdered and the affection
he felt for the victim’s mother, Margaret. A favor for a friend leads
him to another woman who has lost a child - her daughter has been found
drowned in the same lake her stepfather died in years earlier. An
accident, suicide...or murder? Margaret thought she could escape her
past but the memories of her daughter - and of her killer - give her no
peace and she finally returns to Dublin to face her demons. A chance
encounter with a young girl in a graveyard leads her to back to a man
she never thought she’d see again and a mother with a grief to match her
own. A chilling and dark novel of love, revenge and atonement from the
author of Mary, Mary, The Courtship Gift, and The Hourglass. Julie
Parsons was born in New Zealand and has lived most of her adult life in
Ireland. She has had a varied career - artist’s model, typesetter,
freelance journalist, radio and television producer - before returning
to write fiction. This is her sixth novel, following
The Courtship Gift
, Eager to Please
, The Guilty Heart
and The Hourglass
, and is a sequel to her chilling first novel Mary, Mary
.
