About this ebook

From the New York Times bestselling author of Little Girl Lost comes a compelling new series …

Inspector Devlin is called to investigate a case of arson: a burning barn and, inside, the charred remains of a local drug dealer.

Suspicions quickly fall on a local vigilante group that calls itself "the Rising."

But Devlin stumbles onto a more pressing case when his old partner's teenage son goes missing. With quiet determination, he attempts to make sense of the boy's disappearance …

That is, until another drug dealer is killed and Devlin realizes that the case goes far deeper and darker than he ever imagined.

Gripping, heartbreaking, and always surprising, The Rising is a tour de force from one of Ireland's greatest crime writers.

Ratings and reviews

You begin to wonder if Inspector Devlin loves his job more than his family, when his young teenage daughter is interested in the son of a supposedly rehabilitated ex-con. Devlin's job is not made easier when his superior lacks faith and is of course driven by political gain in addition having to cross a border within his country. Drug trafficking murder and suicide?, drive this thriller. In all it's a good read.

Taught suspence, great pacing. It is a real page turner... I recommend i highly!

Excellent! Enjoyed immensely!
