Description
When the corpse of local teenager Angela Cashell is found on the border between the north and south of Ireland, Garda Inspector Benedict Devlin is tasked with heading the investigation: the only clues are a gold ring placed on the girl's finger and an old photograph left where she died.When another teenager is murdered, Devlin unearths a link between the recent killings and the disappearance of a prostitute twenty-five years earlier'a case in which he believes one of his own colleagues is implicated.
As a thickening snowstorm blurs the border between north and south, Devlin finds the distinction between right and wrong, vengeance and justice, and even police officer and criminal, becoming equally unclear.
One of the most acclaimed debut crime novels of recent years, Borderlands marks the beginning of a compelling new series featuring Inspector Benedict Devlin.
