Synopsis: Two women take drastic action to protect the life they&’ve built, in this gripping new novel set in early twentieth-century Belfast by the author of The Devil&’s Own. Jane Best and Agnes Williams are known in Belfast for taking in lodgers at Riverdale House, the business they started together after losing their husbands in the Anglo-Zulu War. For forty years, they&’ve welcomed young women in need of a respectable place to stay in the city—including unfortunate cases like young Iris Seoin, who&’s come here to get away from her abuser. When a man shows up at the lodging house looking for Iris, he experiences a flash of recognition. He knows these two. He knows their past. And he knows what they&’re hiding. For Jane and Agnes, everything is at stake. But if they succeed in burying this blackmailer, will their secret stay buried with him?
