From the bestselling author of What You Did comes a truecrime investigation that cast a dark shadow over the Ireland of her childhood.Ireland in the 1990s seemed a safe place for women. With the news dominated by the Troubles, it was easy to ignore nonpolitical murders and sexual violence, to trust that you werent going to be dragged into the shadows and killed. But beneath the surface, a far darker reality had taken hold.Through questioning the society and circumstances that allowed eight young women to vanish without a traceno conclusion or conviction, no resolution for their loved onesbestselling crime novelist Claire McGowan delivers a candid investigation into the culture of secrecy, victimblaming and shame that left these womens bodies unfound, their fates unknown, their assailants unpunished. McGowan reveals an Ireland not of leprechauns and craic but of outdated social and sexual mores, where women and their bodies were of secondary importance to perceived propriety and misguided politicsa place of wellbuttoned lips and stony silence, inadequate police and paramilitary threat.Was an unknown serial killer at large or was there something even more insidious at work? In this insightful, sensitively drawn account, McGowan exposes a system that failed these eight womenand continues to fail women to this day.
