Rachel Lambert leaves London fearing for her safety after a homeless man with ties to a country-house hotel called Hare’s Landing dies under mysterious circumstances.
 
At the same time, New York-based crime reporter Caroline Kelly’s career is threatened by a lawsuit, so she escapes to Ireland to clear her head.
 
But once Caroline arrives at Hare’s Landing, she realises there’s more than just a lawsuit: there’s a decades-old missing person case, and the previous owner’s death was suspicious.
 
As Rachel and Caroline’s investigations converge, they uncover dangerous secrets and learn that the truth might be more lethal than they expected.
