'Gripping, smart, suspenseful' Edel Coffey
'I could not put the book down' Amy Jordan
In a village of secrets, is anyone truly innocent?
A gripping, twist-filled story of secrets, deception and suspicion from the bestselling author of Somebody Knows and There's Something I Have to Tell You.
On an icy morning in January, a body is discovered at the bottom of the Wishing Steps at Blarney Castle, seemingly the tragic death by falling of a young tourist.
Jessie DeMarco had travelled to the Cork village in search of the father she'd never known. When her bereft mother Dani arrives from America to identify her daughter's body, she brings with her a story of Jessie's father's past - now a pillar of the community - that will soon lead to shocking accusations and fervent denials.
Convinced that her daughter's death was not accidental, Dani sets about uncovering evidence, as the local community begins to take sides. But who to believe - the local man they have known all their lives, or a devastated mother with nothing to lose?
