"Author of The Ruin. A novel"--Cover.

Includes excerpt from author's next release.

When Dr. Emma Sweeney stumbles across the victim of a hit-and-run outside Galway University early one morning, she calls her boyfriend, Detective Cormac Reilly. The dead girl is carrying an ID identifying her as Carline Darcy, heir apparent to Darcy Therapeutics, Ireland's most successful pharmaceutical company. Darcy Therapeutics has a finger in every pie, from sponsoring university research facilities to funding political parties to philanthropy-- it has even funded Emma's own ground-breaking research. As the murder investigation twists in unexpected ways, Cormac is forced to question himself and the beliefs that he has long held as truths. -- adapted from back cover
