  Dervla McTiernan's powerful debut THE SECRETS OF THE PAST
  WILL EXPOSE THE CRIMES OF THE PRESENT

  February 1993
  On his first week on the job, Garda Cormac Reilly responds to a call at a decrepit country house to find two silent, neglected children waiting for him - fifteen-year-old Maude and five-year-old Jack. Their mother lies dead upstairs.

  March 2013
  Twenty years later, Cormac has left his high-flying career as a detective in Dublin and returned to Galway. As he struggles to navigate the politics of a new police station, Maude and Jack return to haunt him.

  What ties a recent suicide to the woman's death so long ago? And who among his new colleagues can Cormac really trust?
