About the book
Sarah Stewart Taylor is widely recognized for her captivating depiction of an American detective navigating the streets of Ireland, and her highly-praised series makes a comeback with the release of A Stolen Child.
Following an intense period of training, Maggie D’arcy, a former homicide detective from Long Island, has officially become a member of the Garda. Adjusting to her new life in Ireland alongside her teenage daughter, Lilly, Maggie is content with her role in community policing within Dublin's Portobello neighborhood.
The tranquility is shattered when Maggie and her partner stumble upon the lifeless body of former model and reality TV personality, Jade Elliot. Days earlier, they had responded to a potential domestic violence incident at Jade's residence, only to realize that her toddler daughter is now missing. With limited resources due to an ongoing probe into a gang-related murder, Maggie’s acquaintance, Detective Inspector Roly Byrne, enlists her help in locating the abducted child. As they unravel new clues, the case grows more perplexing and perilous. In the midst of a nationwide pursuit, Maggie and her team must delve deep into Jade’s past - both personal and professional - in order to unmask a cunning culprit.
