    Dublin Murder Squad - 3: De laatste afspraak
    • Als Frank hoort dat de koffer van Rosie Daley is gevonden, staat zijn wereld stil. Twintig jaar geleden zouden Rosie en hij samen weglopen om in Londen een nieuw leven te beginnen, maar op het afgesproken tijdstip kwam ze niet opdagen. Was ze alleen vertrokken? Had ze een ander? Hij is er nooit achter gekomen. Frank keert terug naar de arbeidersbuurt in Dublin waar ze destijds woonden, en waar zijn - in zijn ogen nog altijd even verschrikkelijke - ouders, broers en zussen en Rosies familie nog steeds wonen. Kort daarop wordt Rosies lijk gevonden. In de maanden die volgen komt Frank ontstellende dingen te weten - over zijn familie, wat er destijds gebeurd is, en uiteindelijk over zichzelf. Er ontrolt zich een familiedrama vol ellende waarbij iedereen betrokken lijkt te zijn.

So when two men turn up with a money-making scheme to find gold in the townland, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of the men is no stranger- he's Trey's father.

      Antoinette Conway, the tough, abrasive detective from The Secret Place, is still on the Murder squad, but only just. She's partnered up with Stephen Moran now, and that's going well - but the rest of her working life isn't. Antoinette doesn't play well with others, and there's a vicious running campaign in the squad to get rid of her. She and Stephen pull a case that at first looks like a slam-dunk lovers' tiff, but gradually they realise there's more going on: someone on their own squad is trying to push them towards the obvious solution, away from nagging questions. They have to work out whether this is just an escalation in the drive to get rid of her - or whether there's something deeper and darker going on.

Something is wrong in this community, and he must find out what, even if it brings trouble to his door.
