A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'In The Nameless Dead, Brian McGilloway weaves a moving, beautifully written story of lost parental hopes and the still angry wounds of political strife.' --The Times, Marcel Berlins

'Northern Ireland s bloody history adds gritty reality to the fifth in the popular series featuring the all-too-human Inspector Devlin.'
--Peterborough Evening Telegraph

'McGilloway s elegant, almost elegiac, writing and his humane, sensitive Garda detective raise The Nameless Dead from a gloomy reflection on Northern Ireland s past to a poignant, perfectly-pitched crime story which counterbalances fictional drama with factual history...Respectable, compassionate and doggedly determined in the face of obstructive senior officers, the maverick Devlin always steers a moral course in his pursuit of fairness, justice and the truth.' --Lancashire Evening Post

'In a story of crime, love and mystery, Devlin trusts his instincts to find out the truth after more deaths follow, even when it puts those who he loves most at risk.'
Lifestyle North East --Lifestyle North East

'Told with McGilloway s customary quiet authority, The Nameless Dead fully deserves its Rankinsesque title, confirming the author s reputation as a thoughtful, intelligent crime novelist... The Nameless Dead is as good a novel of modern Ireland as you re likely to read this year, crime or otherwise.' --Irish Times

Présentation de l'éditeur

The small isle of Islandmore was once an avenue for smugglers and a burial place for unbaptized babies.

When a cold case leads Inspector Devlin to the desolate island in an attempt to locate the bodies of a group of people who have been presumed dead for over thirty years, he uncovers a horrifying secret: the body of a baby who appears to have been murdered. Every fiber of the inspector's being tells him he should find justice for this child, but he is prohibited from investigating further.

Devlin is torn. He has no desire to dredge up painful events of the past, but neither can he let a murderer go unpunished. Devlin must follow his conscience—even when it puts those closest to him at risk.
