She's the lawyer. But now she's the one on trial. A red canoe sits abandoned on Seymour Rock, right where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. The elegantly dressed corpse of a woman lies inside... Nora Carleton left New York to become lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, where her life has become slower, more predictable. That is until her colleague and friend, Helen, is brutally murdered - and she becomes the prime suspect. In the months leading up to Helen's death, she and Nora were investigating someone within the company who was using insider information to undercut Saugatuck's investments. Nora knows this is somehow linked to Helen's murder - if only she can see how. Calling in old colleagues from the US Attorney's office, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence - or risk being put behind bars herself... 'This is a really good mystery, expertly told and filled with the sort of detail only an insider could provide, including intrigue at the world's largest hedge fund. Once I picked it up, I was hooked.' Joseph Finder Reviews for James Comey 'A great read. Brimming with been-there-done-that authority.' Michael Connelly 'A masterful blend of legal thriller, police procedural and psychological drama.' Jeffery Deaver 'A bold new talent in the mystery genre.' Harlan Coben
Quirke's pathology department, set deep beneath the city, is his own gloomy realm: always quiet, always night, and always under his control. Until late one evening after a party he stumbles across a body that should not be there - and his brother-in-law falsifying the corpse's cause of death.
This is the first time Quirke has encountered Christine Falls, but the investigation he decides to lead into the way she lived and died uncovers a dark secret at the heart of Dublin's high Catholic network; one with the power to shake his own family and everything he holds dear.

'Succeeds sensationally...An absorbing plot, beguiling characters and evocative settings...His pacing is impeccable' Marcel Berlins, The Times
