1984 年夏天的都柏林郊區，黃昏降臨，孩子們被一一喚回家中，唯獨三名孩童走入森林後再也沒有回來。警方最終只找到其中一人，他驚恐地緊抱樹幹、鞋上沾滿血跡，卻對失蹤的數小時毫無記憶。二十年後，當年的男孩 Rob Ryan 成為都柏林兇殺組警探，刻意隱藏那段空白的過去。直到一名十二歲女孩在同一片森林遇害，他與搭檔 Cassie Maddox 被迫重返現場，面對與童年記憶交疊的案件。本書以濃厚氛圍與細膩心理描寫，交織犯罪調查與記憶裂縫，探問真相、創傷與無法被完全揭開的過去，是一部層次豐富、餘韻深長的犯罪小說。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-
