A detective investigates the mysterious deaths of a young man and his friend, uncovering dark secrets in No Turning Back.
In No Turning Back, the story unfolds with the tragic death of Tom Quinn, a seemingly perfect young man who becomes the victim of a deliberate hit-and-run. His parents, Orla and Conor Quinn, are portrayed as an ideal power couple, but their world is shattered by this unthinkable loss. Detective Garda Cathy Connolly, who has just met with Tom's grieving parents, is soon called to investigate another shocking incident. The discovery of a body in Dillon's Park raises unsettling questions as the narrative delves into the intertwined fates of Tom and his friend, Lauren O'Reilly, who also died on the same night.
As Cathy digs deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a web of secrets that connects the two deaths. The plot thickens as she finds links to the Dark Web and a series of unresolved cold cases. Each person involved seems to have their own motives for concealing the truth from the authorities, leading Cathy to navigate a maze of deception. The tension escalates as she realizes that the deeper she goes, the more dangerous her quest for answers becomes.
No Turning Back is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats with its unexpected twists and turns. As Cathy Connolly pieces together the puzzle, the story explores themes of family, secrecy, and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect their own. The compelling narrative promises to captivate fans of crime fiction until the very last page.
