For
her new novel Rose Doyle moves from the historical to a
very contemporary story of murder, betrayal and love. Set
in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin it opens with the early morning
discovery of a young woman's body in the doorway of the
morgue. Evil casts long shadows, in this case on two earlier
and similar murders - one in Dun Laoghaire in l953, the
other on Coney Island in l963. And, as they do, love and
sex cast their own particular shadows over events.
Published
by Hodder and Stoughton , Shadows Will Fall is widely available
