"Twenty years after Cormac Reilly discovered Hilaria Blake dead from a drug overdose leaving fifteen-year-old Maude and five-year-old Jack orphans, Jack unexpectedly commits suicide. When his sister shows up determined to prove Jack was murdered, Cormac is pressured to reinvestigate their mother's death, charge Maude with her murder, and connect it to Jack's death"--

When Aisling Conroy's boyfriend Jack is found in the freezing black waters of the river Corrib, the police tell her it was suicide. Then Jack's sister Maude shows up, suspecting foul play, and determined to prove it. Cormac Reilly is the detective assigned with the re-investigation of a seemingly accidental overdose twenty years ago-- the overdose of Jack and Maude's drug and alcohol addled mother, Hilaria Blake. Now he is under increasing pressure to charge Maude for murder, and is drawn into a history of corruption, desperation, and crime run rife.-- adapted from back cover
