From the iconic crime writer who inspires cultic devotion in readers (The New Yorker) and has been called incandescent by Stephen King, absolutely mesmerizing by Gillian Flynn, and unputdownable (People), comes the third and final book in the million-copy-bestselling Cal Hooper trilogy.

On a cold night in the remote Irish village of Arknakelty, a girl goes missing. Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, shes dead in the river.

In a close-knit small town, a death like this isnt simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now, and he owes them loyalty, but his fiance Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakeltys tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachels death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line.

One of the greatest crime novelists writing today (Vox) crafts a masterwork of atmospheric suspense that brings the story of one of her most beloved characters to a spellbinding conclusion.
