What to expect
When a puzzling missing persons' case opens up in her hometown, forensic psychologist Paula Maguire can't help but return once more.
Renovations at an abandoned farm have uncovered two bodies: a man known to be an IRA member missing since the nineties, and a young girl whose identity remains a mystery.
As Paula attempts to discover who the girl is and why no one is looking for her, an anonymous tip-off claims that her own long-lost mother is also buried on the farm.
When another girl is kidnapped, Paula must find the person responsible before more lives are destroyed. But there are explosive secrets still to surface. And even Paula can't predict that the investigation will strike at the heart of all she holds dear.

Critics Review
A delicious spookiness is added to McGowan’s customary mix of complex characterisation and sweat-inducing excitement, offering a new level of chilling thrills
A brilliantly executed thriller with a haunting and atmospheric setting. Spine tingling
A spine-tingling, brilliantly haunting and atmospheric thriller
A complex, disturbing, resonant novel that remains light on its feet and immensely entertaining
Page-turning
The best of the Paula series yet; weird, intriguing, gripping and original
A reminder why McGowan has been described as Ireland’s answer to Ruth Rendell
This is a powerful and disturbing novel
I read The Silent Dead with my heart in my mouth . . . brilliant
An intelligent and thought-provoking read and I can’t WAIT to see where Paula goes from here!
Another great story in an increasingly impressive series
The perfect mix of drama, intrigue and mystery along with a dash of Northern Irish and Irish history
Nail-biting! The creepy and harsh setting . . . made the events on this island and its inhabitants even more chilling
McGowan has created a world evocative enough to get lost in
