Twenty years on, Rob Ryan - the child who came back - is a detective in the Dublin police force. He's changed his name. No one knows about his past. Then a little girl's body is found at the site of the old tragedy and Rob is drawn back into the mystery.

    L’inspecteur Cassie Maddox travaille au département des violences domestiques. On est loin du temps où elle était agent infiltré. Sa première mission a été de se faire passer pour une étudiante à l’université de Dublin afin d’infiltrer un réseau de vendeurs de drogue. Son chef, Frank Mackey, et elle ont alors créé une nouvelle identité : Alexandra Madison. Cassie a donc été Lexie pendant quelques mois. Quelques années plus tard, Cassie est appelée sur les lieux d’un crime. Pourquoi elle alors qu’elle a quitté la brigade criminelle ? Elle le découvre en même temps qu’elle découvre le visage de la victime : c’est son portrait, elles se ressemblent comme deux gouttes d’eau. Son ancien chef, Frank, a alors une idée folle : taire la mort de Lexie Madison. Ainsi Cassie peut (re)prendre l’identité de Lexie et retourner à Whitethorn House où Lexie vivait entourée de ses quatre et uniques amis afin de mettre la brigade criminelle de Dublin sur la piste de l’assassin de Lexie.

    In Broken Harbour, a ghost estate outside Dublin - half-built, half-inhabited, half-abandoned - two children and their father are dead. The mother is on her way to intensive care. Scorcher Kennedy is given the case because he is the Murder squad's star detective. At first he and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple one: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his children, tried to kill his wife Jenny, and finished off with himself. But there are too many inexplicable details and the evidence is pointing in two directions at once. Scorcher's personal life is tugging for his attention. Seeing the case on the news has sent his sister Dina off the rails again, and she's resurrecting something that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control: what happened to their family, one summer at Broken Harbour, back when they were children. The neat compartments of his life are breaking down, and the sudden tangle of work and family is putting both at risk . . .
