Synopsis

The course of Frank Mackey's life was set by one defining moment when he was nineteen. The moment his girlfriend, Rosie Daly, failed to turn up for their rendezvous in Faithful Place, failed to run away with him to London as they had planned. Frank never heard from her again. Twenty years on, Frank is still in Dublin, working as an undercover cop. He's cut all ties with his dysfunctional family. Until his sister calls to say that Rosie's suitcase has been found. Frank embarks on a journey into his past that demands he reevaluate everything he believes to be true.

About this title

Review:

Every holiday needs a good crime novel and French's skilful thrillers are tailor-made to terrify (Guardian)

Utterly realistic on many levels. Sibling rivalries, class conflicts, old grudges, adolescent flirtations and memories of childhood violence are all deftly embedded in this novel, as is the richly idiomatic Dublinese. (New York Times)

Gripping. Tana French's third novel hooks the reader from the outset; the characters are masterfully drawn, and the author's ear for Dublin dialogue is pitch-perfect. (Irish Independent)

A gripping, literate thriller laced with black humour (Irish Times)

French copperfastens her reputation as an author of exceptional insight and talent. (Sunday Independent)

She lifts the lid on Dublin and offers a haunting portrait of a man belatedly dealing with his demons (Mail on Sunday)

Faithful Place is compelling and carefully crafted crime fiction, with complex psychological undertones. (The Canberra Times)

Book Description:

A compelling psychological mystery from one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction
