From the bestselling author of Star of the Sea and Shadowplay, 'a powerful, moving adventure of raw fate and betrayed love' (Independent on Sunday).

Inspector Martin Aitken's life is a mess. He's divorced, his career's in chaos, and the last thing he needs this Christmas Eve is a strange woman collapsed on a Dublin street. Ellen Donnelly is a woman on a mission, coming to Ireland to find her mother and escape her marriage. Dr Milton Amery, a New York plastic surgeon, is her unfaithful husband. The three are beginning new journeys, each of which lead to Inishowen.

'A page-turner, full of compassion, laughter and zest for the human condition' Irish Times

'Tremendous... A love story, a realistic thriller and an account of grief and loss' Spectator

Inishowen is by turns wildly funny and deeply moving, from the author of Star of the Sea.
