Description

The hotly anticipated third novel of the Dublin murder squad from the "New York Times" bestselling author
Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was nineteen, growing up poor in Dublin's inner city, and living crammed into a small flat with his family on Faithful Place. But he had his sights set on a lot more. He and Rosie Daly were all ready to run away to London together, get married, get good jobs, break away from factory work and poverty and their old lives.
But on the winter night when they were supposed to leave, Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd dumped him-probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went home again.
Neither did Rosie. Everyone thought she had gone to England on her own and was over there living a shiny new life. Then, twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank is going home whether he likes it or not.
Getting sucked in is a lot easier than getting out again. Frank finds himself straight back in the dark tangle of relationships he left behind. The cops working the case want him out of the way, in case loyalty to his family and community makes him a liability. Faithful Place wants him out because he's a detective now, and the Place has never liked cops. Frank just wants to find out what happened to Rosie Daly-and he's willing to do whatever it takes, to himself or anyone else, to get the job done.

Frank Mackey, Undercover Ermittler, hat seine Familie seit 22 Jahren nicht gesehen. Die vier Geschwister, den trinkenden, gewalttätigen Vater, die ruppige Mutter. Er wollte der Armut und Perspektivlosigkeit seines Viertels für immer entfliehen - zusammen mit seiner ersten grossen Liebe. Rosie. Doch die hatte ihn versetzt und war allein nach England aufgebrochen, so hat Frank jedenfalls immer gedacht. Bis Rosies Koffer und ihre Fährkarten in dem alten Abbruchhaus in der Strasse seiner Kindheit gefunden werden. Frank muss zurück nach Faithful Place und feststellen, dass er diesen dunklen Ort immer in sich getragen hat.
