THE STUNNING, AWARD-WINNING THRILLER FROM THE MODERN QUEEN OF CRIME FICTION

'To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer' GILLIAN FLYNN

'Tana French is one of the most assured crime novelists writing today and Broken Harbour affirms her reputation' TIME OUT

'With Broken Harbour, Tana French should cement her name not only as the queen of Irish crime fiction but the queen of Irish fiction' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT

-------------------------------------------------------

In Broken Harbour, a ghost estate outside Dublin, two children and their father are dead. The mother is on her way to intensive care.

At first Detective Scorcher Kennedy, and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is cut and dry: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his children, tried to kill his wife, Jenny, and then himself. But inexplicable details keep cropping up.

Soon the neat compartments of Scorcher's life begin to break down, putting both his professional and personal life at risk. As the case reaches its apex, he will be forced to face the truth of what happened to him and his family all those years ago, one dark summer at Broken Harbour.
