After witnessing a murder, a small-town librarian is forced to act when the local police arrest the wrong man, perfect for fans of Dervla McTiernan and Carlene O'Connor.
1988, West Cork, Ireland. Emma Daly has returned to her tiny little village in Ireland, a quaint and peaceful town where everybody knows everybody. She's looking to escape a devastating love affair and the subsequent scandal that prevented her from becoming a cop by single handedly revitalizing her local library. But when the richest man in town is murdered and the culprit seems to be the long-lost son of a local family, Colm, her charming small-town life is turned upside down.
Emma knows there is more to the story. She watched a third man flee from the scene of the crime, but the cops don't believe her. When Colm's family asks her to investigate, she decides to take matters into her own hands and clear Colm's name, who hasn't been able to give a statement since he was wounded the night of the crime and is now in a coma.
Teaming up with her high school sweetheart, Colm's nephew, Charley, and the secretary of a lawyer who works for the cops, Mary, it is up to Emma to solve the mystery before either the police or the murderer can stop her.
