The Mountains Wild

About the book

In the first installment of a new series for fans of Tana French and Kate Atkinson, the story unfolds in both Dublin and New York as homicide detective Maggie D'arcy finally faces the case that forever changed her life.

It all started twenty-three years ago when Maggie's family received a call from the Dublin police informing them that her cousin Erin had gone missing. Despite Maggie's efforts to find her during her time in Ireland, working closely with the police, Erin remained untraceable.

The disappearance of her cousin fueled Maggie's passion for law enforcement, leading her to become a detective. Now, two decades later on Long Island, Maggie is a single mother to a teenager. When the Gardaí discover Erin's scarf and another young woman goes missing, Maggie returns to Ireland, confronting the emotions she has long buried.

As she delves back into the unsolved mystery, Maggie faces the lingering questions surrounding Erin's disappearance, her unresolved feelings for Erin's former colleague, and her unwavering determination to find closure.

With its evocative prose and richly developed characters, The Mountains Wild paints a vivid portrait of a woman and a nation spanning over twenty years, marking the start of an enthralling new series by a talented author.
