SECRETS, LIES, AND A CRIME THAT HITS TOO CLOSE TO HOME

When an old flame returns from Italy to sweep local married woman Babs Wheatley off her feet, the rug is truly pulled from under her when—just twenty-four hours later—he turns up murdered.

Garda Caitlín Kennedy and her colleagues at Ballantur Garda Station are hard-pressed to solve the case with so little to go on. Meanwhile, life in the small Irish village rumbles on—with summer events, presidential visits, and even a cross-country rally complicating matters.

As Caitlín juggles her role in the security team for JFK’s visit to Galway and her unlikely debut as a rally driver, the murder investigation spirals. With Sergeant Lamb breathing down her neck and tensions rising, Caitlín follows a dangerous lead—one that takes her far from Ballantur to the sun-drenched olive groves of Sicily.

A charming and suspenseful mystery for fans of cosy crime with heart, humour, and historical flair.
