The author is inventive, imaginative and portrays his characters particularly well. Could this be his chance to regain his reputation without disrupting the lives of the Carlisles. Rea’s father is a powerful Northern Irish politician, and a family scandal like this could destroy his career, but Jack has been suspended after corruption charges. She turns to disgraced Police Inspector Jack Lennon and his new supervisor Serena Flanagan. She has inherited the house from an uncle that she never knew. She puts the book down and runs to wash her hands, washing away the fear and disgust. Rea Carlisle goes through the belongings of her uncle, and finds a large scrap book, but it has locks of hair and fingernails pasted inside. His implication in the murder, coupled with the story Rea has brought to him, leaves Lennon more than slightly suspicious that the two are part of a grisly conspiracy. Meanwhile, Lennon finds himself the lead suspect in a murder investigation led by one of the force’s toughest cops, DCI Serena Flanagan. Thwarted by her father, Rea turns to the only person she can think disgraced police inspector Jack Lennon. Horrified, Rea wants to go straight to the police, but her father intervenes-he’s worked too hard to have his brother’s twisted legacy ruin his promising political career.

Tucked in its pages are fingernails and locks of a catalog of victims. It doesn’t take her long to clear out the dead man’s possessions, but when Rea forces open a locked room, she finds a leather-bound book. Rea Carlisle, daughter of influential Northern Irish politician Graham Carlisle, has inherited a house from an uncle she never knew. In Belfast, Northern Ireland, memories of the city’s troubled history haunt every street corner, but for one tortured soul, the incredible violence in his past is also his most cherished legacy.
