THE RÚIN : Dervla McTiernan

The Rúin by Dervla McTernan. "This is brilliant Australian crime fiction"

THE RÚIN

by Dervla McTiernan

This is a debut but you’d never know it, the writing is beautiful and the story comes together perfectly with some brilliant ‘penny-drop’ moments. Set in McTiernan’s native Ireland, The Rúin introduces Cormac Reilly, an exceptionally easy to root for detective, as he takes on a decades old cold-case and the hostile dynamics of a new department. This is brilliant Australian crime fiction, I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel.
