Katie Maguire knows that in this part of Ireland, the past will never stay buried forever. The sixth book featuring the fearless red-haired commissioner Katie Maguire once again takes readers to Cork and its surroundings, where the police are still busy. In the town of Blarney, four bodies are found buried under the floor of an old working-class house. The victims were apparently shot sometime in the 1920s, and each has a gunshot wound to the back of the head, suggesting that the IRA may have had a hand in their execution. However, these ancient murders are not the only concern for the young commissioner: while pursuing smuggled cigarette dealers, Katie receives a blow to her most sensitive spot — her private life. The commissioner must decide how to protect her loved ones in an environment where she is unsure whom she can trust.
