Description
They called it peacekeeping. But for Lindsey Ryan, the war never ended.
Three years ago, a semi-inflated football and a curious little girl changed everything. One explosion. Two bodies. A lifetime of guilt. Now, Corporal Lindsey Ryan spends her days saving the city of Cork's troubled youth-and her nights fighting a private war against the demons in her head.
Lindsey is certain she's being watched. Her doctors call it PTSD. Her friends call it a relapse. But as the "accidents" mount and the blurred lines of her reality begin to bleed, Lindsey realizes the threat isn't just in her mind. Someone is hunting her. Someone who wants to finish what started in the Golan Heights.
In a world of blue helmets and blackouts, the most dangerous enemy is the one you never see coming. And this time, they won't stop until the job is done.

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.

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.
