What this book is about

Detective Antoinette Conway and Stephen Moran are called to what looks like a straightforward domestic murder — a young woman found dead after a date gone wrong. But Conway starts to sense the case is being steered somewhere. The Trespasser is the sixth Dublin Murder Squad novel — unusual in the series for being told from a woman's perspective; Conway's isolation and suspicion are the emotional engine.
