The Trespasser: Tana French

This is the case she imagined. Precision-cut and savage, lithe and momentous.

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.
