The Ruin

The Ruin is by Dervla McTiernan. The first realistic fiction mystery in the Cormac Reilly series. Cormac has moved to a new assignment within the police force, and despite his outstanding record is being assigned nothing but cold cases by his new boss. Twenty years ago as a new officer he was called out on a domestic call to find a dead mother and two abused young children. He took Jack and Maude to the hospital and never forgot them. Now, Jack is found dead and neither his sister or his girlfriend believe it was suicide. Cormac finds himself back in the middle of a twenty-year-old case, where no one seems to want him to find the answers he seeks. Set in Ireland, this a fun new series that will have crime lovers wanting more. 

Ratings: 10th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
