The course of Frank Mackey's life was set by one defining moment when
he was nineteen. The moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn
up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him
to London as they had planned. Frank never heard from her again. Twenty
years on, Frank is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop. He's

true. Tana French grew up in Ireland, Italy, the United States and
