Deathly Silence

DI Conal Brophy is summoned to his first major case as Inspector, which has far-reaching implications beyond a sleepy Irish village under lockdown.

A sixteen-year-old asylum seeker is found dead in a forest clearing, and Brophy is presented with a bereaved group of teenagers and a house crammed full of refugees.

The investigation is complicated by politics and power plays and threatened by growing discontent among a population fatigued by a year of isolation and loss.

Brophy must wade through the bigotry and lies that have everyone guarded and suspicious.

But will he find the killer before someone else does?
