2000s: The Murder Squad is back with a vengeance!
Antoinette Conway, the tough, abrasive detective from The Secret Place, is still on the Murder squad, but only just. She’s partnered up with Stephen Moran now, and that’s going well – but the rest of her working life isn’t. Antoinette doesn’t play well with others, and there’s a vicious running campaign in the squad to get rid of her. She and Stephen pull a case that at first looks like a slam-dunk lovers’ tiff. All she and her partner have to do is track down Lover Boy and bring him in. Then it’ll be back to business as usual, watching from a distance as the real detectives go up against the psychopaths. Except when Antoinette takes a good look at the victim’s face, she realises she’s seen her somewhere before. And suddenly the conviction that there’s a different answer takes her breath away
A unique place to be a policeman! What a team and a boss who is convinced that the entire murder squad is out to get her trip her up and force her out. Ste[hen Moran makes an appearance again and is more immersed into the team.
“The whispery hum of the computers and the winter wind idling around the windows; just those and silence. Murder works out of the grounds of Dublin Castle, smack in the heart of town but our building is tucked away a few corners from the fancy stuff the tourists comes to see and our walls are thick. Even the early morning traffic out on Dame Street only makes it through to us as a soft undemanding hum.”
Dublin is evoked loud and clear but it’s the police station and the inside of the interrogation room which gets the biggest spotlight thrown on it.
