About the book

'McGilloway is one of the finest crime-writers working today' ANN CLEEVES

'A hugely talented storyteller' CHRIS WHITAKER

Katie lives a quiet life. She likes her small Derry neighbourhood. She likes her job as a barmaid at O'Reillys. And she loves her daughter, Hope.

But everything changes when she is approached by two detectives. They want Katie to tell them the things she hears at work. To become their 
informant.

In this city, Katie knows the dangers of talking to the police. Yet with Hope's safety at risk should she refuse, she is trapped between two impossible choices.

Crossing the O'Reilly brothers could cost her everything. Her only chance of survival is if she can remain the one that they least suspect . . .

A gripping, heart-wrenching thriller that explores the fine line between right and wrong, justice and revenge, and how you choose your side when everyone is guilty . . .
