Michael Forsythe, the ruthless protagonist of the Dead trilogy, emerges from hiding in Lima's criminal underworld when a lethal ultimatum arrives: find the disappeared daughter of his former lover—and the woman whose husband he murdered—or face execution. Bridget Callaghan's Colombian enforcers corner him in the Miraflores Hilton, delivering an impossible choice that drags Michael back to his violent past in Ireland. Arriving in Dublin on Bloomsday, Michael descends into a maze of IRA conspirators, underground syndicates, and dangerous secrets. With every lead promising betrayal and every contact hiding ulterior motives, he navigates kidnappings, narrow escapes, and the criminal networks that control the missing girl's fate. Haunted by his history with Bridget and hunted by those who want him dead, Michael must uncover the truth before his past and present collide in fatal consequences.
