Description
On a quiet housing estate in Wexford, fear seeps into everyday life as a series of alarming incidents—abductions of teenage girls and the disappearance of a young child—shatter the community’s sense of safety. When a paroled paedophile returns to the neighborhood, suspicion and grief collide, forcing residents to confront what they know, what they’ve ignored, and what they’re willing to believe. Interwoven with the investigation into the murder of a policeman, the novel examines the long shadow of harm and the social pressures that shape how communities respond to vulnerability. With Ruth Rendell’s signature psychological acuity and suspenseful pacing, this is a chilling, emotionally charged story about accountability, complicity, and the devastating consequences of silence.
