Publisher's Synopsis
Hidden away in an isolated cabin on the edge of her farm, seven-year-old Aisling Connolly shivers as the cold night air whistles through her thin jacket. It's been two days since the men came, since her mammy told her to run like she'd never run before, to not look back. She hasn't seen her parents since. And she's terrified. But when Aisling is finally found by the police, she knows instinctively she can trust Detective Tessa Burns. A former child-witness herself, Tessa understands what Aisling has been through, and that Aisling must remember everything she can about that terrible, dark night if she's to save her parents. Something Tessa was unable to do for her own parents all those years ago. As the little girl slowly starts to open up, Tessa uncovers much more than she'd bargained for - another murder, clearly a horrific warning to Aisling not to speak.
