Liar's Girl
Ten years ago, Will Hurley was a charming student at St. John's College, an elite Dublin school. He was also the Canal Killer, who stalked five young victims and drowned them in the Grand Canal. He is now serving a life sentence in the Central Psychiatric Hospital.
Alison Smith was Will's girlfriend. Her best friend Liz was one of the victims, and when Will confessed, Alison's life fell apart. She left for the Netherlands and has not looked back since.
Now a young woman's body has been found in the Grand Canal, and it looks like the work of a copycat. Garda detectives visit Will in the hospital to ask for his help. He tells them he has a new confession to make, but he will make it to only one person: Alison.
She is reluctant, but she is drawn back into the past she worked so hard to escape. What waits there is worse than anything she knew, because Will has held back the worst part of the story until now.
This is a crime thriller set in Dublin, built on a killer's hold over the woman who once loved him and a case that reopens old wounds.
