Sins of Omission

Gemma O'Connor

1995

"Two women, Grace in London, Bid in Dublin, and one man - the wealthy head of a Dutch development company. No apparent connection between them, yet their lives are destroyed by one searing incident, resolutely buried."

Falls the Shadow

Gemma O'Connor

1996

"The elderly witness to a murder in Dublin in the 1940s is killed in what seems to be a hit-and-run accident. Her daughter questions this verdict, and in doing so, exposes herself to danger."

Farewell to the Flesh

Gemma O'Connor

1998

"A mystery is set in motion by the discovery of an extra coffin when a plot of land containing a small graveyard is sold off. This high-tension psychological crime novel moves between the locations of Dublin and Oxford."

Time to Remember

Gemma O'Connor

1999

"In the early 40s, in war-torn Europe, a boy witnesses the murder of his girlfriend by a young soldier. Forty years later, by chance, he recognizes the soldier and becomes obsessed with destroying him secretly and from afar. That is, until the two men meet face to face in Oxford, one summer morning."

Walking on Water

Gemma O'Connor

2001

"A small town in the south west of Ireland has its peace and tranquility shattered when a newcomer is found murdered and bound to a tree. Her name was Evangeline Walter. Nobody knew much about her, so who exactly was she, and more importantly, who wanted her dead?"

Following the Wake

Gemma O'Connor

2002

"The fallout from Evangeline Walter's murder touched everyone who knew her, as if her venom had insidiously leeched into their lives and poisoned their happiness. Even her cousin, Murray McGraw, who had a genuine affection for her, was not immune; and neither was Smiler O'Dowd, who loved her But, of all those who had contact with her none suffered more than the wife and son of VJ Sweeney, who drowned at sea before he could be charged with her killing. Was it all too neat? Ten years on, the sense of unfinished business continues to linger, and Gil Sweeney has become obsessed with finding out what really happened when he was a little boy of eight."
