Nun's Cross: A dream, gated development in Dublin that sprang up during the boom and promised a better life at a time when the banks were giving away money and all kinds of people suddenly able to climb up the social ladder. But now the bubble has burst, the perfect place to bring up a family is full of residents struggling to make their mortgage repayments. AMANDA WELLS was one - a young mum down on her luck, who came up with a new source of income - and her body's just been found, dumped in a shallow grave in the Dublin mountains. Another neighbour, ROY MURPHY started working for a meat packing plant when his business went bust in the recession, and he's just vanished off the face of the earth. Could someone be using the skeletons in the closets of Nun's Cross residents to bail themselves out? Because the links between the recent cluster of crimes and the kind of secrets families like to keep buried are impossible for Jo Birmingham to ignore. Everyone else involved in the case believes the solution is open and shut, and that Roy has gone on the run because he murdered Amanda. That's because a plastic bag stuffed in Amanda's mouth bears the logo of a shop that went bust fifteen years previously, the exact same store where a missing woman, SARAH FLINT, was last seen alive. Since Roy happens to be married to Sarah's sister, MARY, the powers that be believe it's a coincidence impossible to ignore.
