In Plain Sight

A brutal killer is stalking the streets of Dublin. She’s the only one who can stop him—if her past doesn’t destroy her first.

Darcy has always dreamed of joining the serious crime detectives of the NBCI. She finally gets her chance to prove herself on what should have been an open-and-shut case—but it quickly turns into a race against time to stop the multiple sadistic killings of women on the streets of Dublin.

To show her the ropes, she is assigned a once-brilliant but now washed-out detective, Mick Kelly, who should have retired years ago. Darcy fears that if, or rather when, he screws up, she will crash and burn along with him.

So far in her career, she has always managed to keep her secretive past hidden. But as they close in on the killer, her past is coming back to haunt her.

Can she save the next victim from the relentless killer—and at the same time, save herself from her own past?

In Plain Sight is a fast-paced and gritty Irish crime thriller packed with psychological suspense, emotional depth, and a flawed, unforgettable female detective.

Perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney, Jane Casey, Catherine Ryan Howard, and Tana French.
