'McGilloway is one of the finest crime-writers working today' ANN CLEEVES
'A hugely talented storyteller' CHRIS WHITAKER
As a barmaid, Katie often hears secrets that she shouldn't. Especially working at a pub owned by the infamous O'Reilly brothers.
Katie has no interest in the O'Reillys' rumoured business ventures - all she wants is to put food on the table for her daughter, Hope. But when she is approached by two detectives, she is faced with an impossible choice . . .
The only way to keep her family safe is to become the police's informant.
But with men like the O'Reilly's, she knows this is a very dangerous game.
One that could cost her everything.
