Stranger in the Night

By JC Barry

He came to Dublin to escape his past. Now, finding a missing girl is the only way to survive it.

French interpreter Jean Deveaux lives in the shadows of Dublin, keeping his distance from a past he'd rather forget. But when an old associate arrives with a desperate plea, Jean's solitary life shatters.

His niece, Maria, has vanished from the city streets. With the police indifference mounting and a family shattered by grief, Jean is their only bridge to answers.

What begins as a simple translation job quickly pulls Jean into Dublin's criminal underbelly-a world of silence, buried secrets, and deep-seated corruption. To find Maria, Jean must confront not just the monsters lurking in the city, but the old ghosts he's spent years running from.

Some debts are paid in blood. Others are paid in truth.

A dark, haunting literary crime thriller perfect for fans of Tana French, Peter May, and Jo Nesb
