Reluctant sleuth Alice Fox uncovers some dirty secrets in Belfast.

A new year, a new term and the staff of the Department of Peace and Reconciliation return from the Christmas break with renewed hope and energy. One person is missing, however. Then a violent storm reveals a grisly murder.

It soon becomes clear to DI Caroline Paton that the victim, Dr Helen Breen, was almost universally disliked among the college staff - but surely departmental politics or boardroom squabbles would not unleash such a level of brutality?

Alice Fox, visiting research fellow, agrees and finds herself distracted from her studies as she is drawn back into old patterns of life as a detective in the States. She soon finds herself playing a key support role in Caroline Paton's murder investigation.

How did Helen Breen arouse such murderous rage?
Or are there more sinister forces at work?
