Ireland, 1941. The war raging across Europe is officially someone else's problem.
Under the Emergency, Ireland has closed its doors to the conflict. But neutrality does not mean safety. And for Guard Eamon Foley, trouble has a way of following a man, no matter how far he runs.
A brutal murder in Dublin. A missing ledger that someone very dangerous wants back. Foley witnesses something he was never meant to see, and suddenly he is not investigating a crime. He is surviving one.
Nine months later, Tralee. A crowded pub. A shot fired in the chaos. Foley’s brother-in-law Joe is dead, and Foley is certain he saw the Dublin killer slip through the door. The local Gardai do not believe him. That decision will cost lives.
