My twelve-year-old daughter frequently moans that Ballycarrick is the most boring town in Ireland.Nothing ever happens here.She's right.And as the local police sergeant, this is something I'm delighted about.I've enough to worry about-the polar ice-caps, the evil monster that's shrinking my trousers, not to mention the hot flushes-without having to be like one of those gritty Netflix cops, chasing criminals down alleyways and busting drug deals.So, life is calm and fairly predictable.Until something unthinkable happens in our sleepy backwater.A crime, but not like anything I've ever seen before.It's a complete mystery.And it's up to me to solve it.

If you want to disappear, start again, make a new life, a small Irish village is probably not the wisest place to go, since anonymity is not something we do well here. The arrival of someone new is always a cause for twitching curtains and whispered conversations. But here, like everywhere, people have their secrets, and as the local sergeant I'm expected to have my eyes peeled for anything unusual. And I do.Usually.Until I don't, and the consequences are potentially fatal.
