| Synopsis
: |
| Dublin,
October 1944. In the closed, inward-looking world of the capital
of neutral Ireland a young prostitute is murdered - and medical
student Honor Cusack is drawn into the dangerous, unpredictable
world of espionage, obsession and Irish links to Nazi Germany.
Into a love affair too with German doctor, Oscar Raeder and
Ireland's civil war past - present throughout in the shape of
someone who watches, and waits, and vengefully helps the inevitable
tragedy come about.

| Reviews
: |
"Doyle
demonstrates a dissector's skill in constructing and portraying
character and holding up cliched prejudices to scrutiny and
ridicule. She cleverly combines stereotypes with more complex
figures to expose the injustice of assuming things about people
because it is comfortable and convenient.
In the case of prejudices against Germany (which still exist
today), she indicates how unfair and uninformed they are...
It's a treat to encounter popular fiction with acumen and a
cheeky sense of justice.
(Christine Madden - Irish Times)
"Compelling reading...perfect for curling up with in front
of an autumnal
fire as long winter nights draw in."
(Irish Independent) "A
good love story, a mystery going on, a murder that needs to
be solved. A
wonderful read!"
(Rattlebag, RTE Radio 1)
"...asks
to be compared with Patricia Cornwell with possible movie
rights in
the wings as well. A great read."
