“Subverted expectations at almost every turn” —New York Times on The Dark Hours

Return to the dark world of detective Julia Harte with another brand-new twisty Irish crime thriller full of jaw-dropping twists.

In a quiet Cork village in 1960, Declan and Evelyn Forde are found brutally murdered while their infant daughter, Teresa, sleeps in a cot alongside her parents’ bodies. No witnesses, no motive. The killer is never caught and the case goes cold.

Decades later, Teresa returns to the isolated house where she lost her parents, with children of her own, reopening old wounds and gossip. Garda Julia Harte, newly promoted and determined, is drawn into the thirty-six-year-old mystery as someone begins to stalk Teresa’s family in a chilling echo of the past.

When Teresa disappears on the anniversary of her parents’ murders, Julia must navigate a community that protects its own and a past that refuses to stay silent. In the depths of an Irish winter, she races against time and demons of her own to find the truth hidden beneath the layers of secrecy, devotion and devastating denial.

Internationally bestselling author Amy Jordan returns with a blistering thriller featuring Julia Harte and a cold case that reignites in the most explosive way
