Publisher's Synopsis
For ten years, newly retired policeman Michael McLoughlin has been haunted by the case of a young woman who was brutally murdered, and by the love he felt for Margaret, the victim's mother. A favour for a friend leads him to another woman who has lost a child. An accident, suicide - or murder? Margaret too has been tormented by her daughter Mary's death and the subsequent death of Mary's killer. She finally returns to Dublin where a chance encounter with a young girl leads her back to a man she never thought she'd see again and a mother with a grief to match her own.
