Dead men sometimes do tell tales…
When the death of an old friend means a trip back to Northern Ireland, Connor Fraser welcomes the distraction from his troubles at home in Stirling. His estrangement from his partner, Jen, is growing ever-more painful, and he can only watch helplessly as his beloved grandmother’s health deteriorates.
When he spots three familiar faces at the funeral, faces with ties to Northern Ireland’s bloody past, Connor suspects his friend’s death was more than a tragic accident. But before he can investigate, he’s lured into a trap and attacked.
Pursued by ruthless professionals who don’t care if they bring Connor to their bosses alive or dead, he must go off-grid. As he tries to untangle the web of deceit that has ensnared him, he’s faced with choices, and losses, that threaten to break him.
A mystery of the past could destroy the peace of the future. With his back to the wall, can Connor unravel it all, before it’s too late?
