My Review:
It 's a dark gripping thriller, full of suspense, intrigue and mystery.
Tadhg Sullivan was transferred from Dublin to Clare, a town fairly quiet, at least it seems. He was abandoned by Hellen, his girlfriend, and is the victim of alcoholism. His life is a total failure. Caroline, a girl of nineteen, is kidnapped while she is jogging. The year before a girl disappeared and was never found. This new case can keep Sullivan away from the bottle and is determined by all means, legitimate and less legitimate, to bring back that girl. Even he is asking for help from a leader of the IRA just released from prison. Behind all this there is a dangerous secret society .....
Caroline is a strong girl, has so much faith, if there is one person who can get out alive from this terrible experience that is her. She's afraid but also suffers for her parents, they will be very anguished. Sullivan is a great detective, despite his deep depression and his problems with alcohol. He's very tormented: save a life entitles you to use even non-legal means?
The story is told in the third person alternating points of view of Sullivan, Caroline and the kidnappers: knowing some details before the detective has helped increase the tension during the reading.
It's the second book in this series, but can be read as a stand alone, I have had no problems
It's an excting and fast paced thriller, quite realistic and well written.
If you like thrillers involving secret societies this is the right book for you
.

EXCERPT:
She knew nothing of the white van that pulled up behind her,
until the two men grabbed her and bundled her into the back of it. She’d been jogging along the road, with her
headphones on listening to Mumford and Sons.
At first she’d thought it was a prank being carried out by some of her
friends. But, as the van tore along the
narrow road at top speed and she found herself being tossed from side to side,
she knew something much more sinister was unfolding and started to scream. Suddenly the van took a sharp left. She fell and smashed her face against the
side panelling. Then she could feel it
being driven down a long pebbled lane.
She stared at her headphones, the music still blaring, lying on the floor
of the van. She cursed herself for not
listening to her parents who had begged her to bring her mobile phone.
