from the back of the book:

Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was a nineteen-year-old kid with a dream of escaping his family's cramped flat on Faithful Place and running away to London with his girl, Rosie Daly. But on the night they were supposed to leave, Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd given him the brush-off - probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went home again. Neither did Rosie. Then twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank, now a detective in the Dublin Undercover squad, is going home whether he likes it or not.

Frank Mackey left home over twenty years ago and has never looked back... until the day he receives a call from his sister, Jackie. The events which unfold afterward peel back the layers of a dysfunctional family and deep rooted secrets, all which have had an impact on Frank's life. Frank's high-school sweetheart went missing all those years ago, and with her body recently discovered, Frank must go back to his roots and deal with his past.
