From the bestselling writer who has been called 'incandescent' by Stephen King and 'absolutely mesmerizing' by Gillian Flynn, comes the most compelling novel of Tana French's career yet.

On a cold night in a remote Irish village, a girl goes missing. Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she’s dead in the river.

In a place like this, her death isn’t simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty’s tangles.

As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel’s death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line . . .

If you haven’t read Tana French yet, I really highly recommend that you do

Harlan Coben

The Keeper is a masterpiece . . . French’s sense of place and characterisation is so authentic that I feel like I know these people and that I live among them. Above all, it reads like an elegy for a way of life that we may lose, if we don’t take care of it
