Emma, Disappeared
€11.98
Everyone is talking about the disappearance of Emma Harte. A high-achieving university graduate and young entrepreneur, she was last seen in the early hours of the morning on grainy CCTV footage in Dublin’s city centre before vanishing into thin air. While a national debate about women’s safety rages, eyes turn to Emma’s boyfriend, Tom – who is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, archivist James Lyster is following the story with undue interest. When a comment he makes about Emma goes viral on social media, he finds himself drawn into the world of a group of idealistic university students involved in the search – and attracting the attention of the police detective in charge of Emma’s case. Then a body is discovered in shrubland near James’ flat. As the police get closer to finding out what happened to Emma Harte, James’ life begins to unravel.

Everyone is talking about the disappearance of Emma Harte. How could yet another promising young woman vanish without a trace? Have the police tracked down her boyfriend yet? And why are women still not safe on our streets?
Archivist James Lyster is watching. When his carefully worded post about Emma goes viral, James starts to get some attention of his own. Soon he is drawn into the search for the missing woman, and the world of a group of idealistic university students, embarking on an affair with the unassuming Libby.
Then a body is found near James's flat. And suddenly he is being eyed with suspicion. Is the life of an innocent man about to unravel? Or is this all part of his plan?
'Smart, blackly humorous and featuring one of Irish crime fiction's most audacious femme fatales' Irish Times
