As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on
this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only
one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of
the previous hours.
Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret.
But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox—his partner
and closest friend—find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with
only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case
before him and that of his own shadowy past.
Richly atmospheric, stunning in its complexity, and utterly convincing and surprising to the end, In the Woods
is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones.
