A cruel murder forces a Liverpool family to confront their past

The discovery of the badly burned corpse of a woman on an estate near the docks has DI Jordan Carr very worried. Especially as no one has been reported missing.

But there is one family who are grieving in private. Four siblings who have guessed the victim must be their mother. Four individuals who fear that the family's Irish past has finally crept up on them.

Good police work leads DI Carr to the victim's house but he is met with hostility. Even so, when the youngest daughter, Molly, goes missing with her small child, he makes it his personal mission to find her.
