Description
Inspired by the author's own experiences as an Irish infantry soldier and UN Peacekeeper.People are the new currency. And in a town this corrupt, the exchange rate is blood.
Former soldier Lindsey Ryan is no stranger to war, but her newest battlefield is the doorstep of her own home. When Lena, a brutalized Syrian refugee, collapses into her life, Lindsey's internal sirens scream. She's been trying to bury her PTSD in the shadows of Cobh in Cork, but Lena is a living reminder that some wars never end.
The enemy has a name: Patrick Adebayo. He's a kingpin who treats human lives like cargo. When Lindsey discovers a child is being smuggled into Adebayo's stronghold, the time for doing nothing is over.
Outnumbered, haunted by her past, and trapped in a town where the police look the other way, Lindsey must unleash the soldier she tried to leave behind.
In a race against a rising tide of violence, she has one mission: Get them out. Get them safe. Or die trying.

Michelle Dunne is the author of a string of thrillers, including hard hitting bestseller, The Good Girl, as well as A Good Mother and The Hotel Maid. But her career started with the Lindsey Ryan series - While Nobody Is Watching and The Invisible, which were inspired by her time as a soldier and UN Peacekeeper in the late nineties. Her work so far has been translated and optioned for television and when she's not busy writing, Michelle is also the founder and organiser of The Spike Island Literary Festival - a crime themed festival on Ireland's own Alcatraz. She also works on Dublin's International crime festival, Murder One.
But outside of her work in the book world, she's a mother, a daughter, a wife and a friend. She drinks coffee like it's going out of style and is an avid supporter of the local U/8 football team. Always happy to connect
