Summary

'Coakley delivers another hard-hitting assured thriller'— Catherine Kirwan
Fresh from solving a harrowing abduction case linked to drug gangs in Kerry, Detective Tim Collins returns to Cork City, only to discover that lurking in the shadows of its fabled lanes lies a world he's unprepared for.
A series of harrowing crimes—neglected by the very police force sworn to protect—has the city's most vulnerable people on edge.
As Collins digs deeper, the line between justice and revenge blurs. Trust becomes a luxury he can't afford as allies become adversaries and the truth slips further away. The streets he once knew now hold secrets that challenge everything he knows, forcing him to confront the demons of his haunted past—a past rooted in his formative years at University College Cork making him question the nature of justice and the path he has chosen in its pursuit.
As the story unfolds, Tim must decide how far he will go to uncover the truth and whether redemption lies at the end of the road. The question remains: Can one man make a difference?
Experience the brutal and blood-soaked world of Detective Tim Collins in the third instalment of this riveting series. Filled with unforeseen twists, this book promises a visceral journey that will hold you in suspense from beginning to end.

    How far would you go to keep your secrets buried? 
    Everyone has secrets they would prefer to keep buried, but that’s what makes me so good at what I do. I’ve always been able to sense when people are lying, be it through their body language or the way they speak. As a criminologist, I’ve made it my life’s mission to help those who’ve suffered miscarriages of justice appeal their wrongful convictions. 
    Thirty years ago, my 13-year-old sister was murdered and it felt like a part of me died with her. I wasn’t there when she needed me most, and I will never forgive myself. That’s what motivates me to help those who can’t help themselves. 
    But now someone is messing with me. They’re threatening to expose me if I don’t confess to my greatest secret. They want to ruin my reputation, but they don’t realise I won’t give up without a fight... or how far I will go to keep the truth hidden.

    A finales del mes de julio, al borde de las vacaciones y con el calor acechando cuerpos y mentes, el único objetivo del abogado protagonista de esta novela, con tanta habilidad para sacar adelante sus casos como pocos escrúpulos para complacer a sus clientes, es poder disfrutar de unos días de tranquilidad junto a su pareja y su hija.
    Pero ni la isla ni su trabajo le darán tregua. La isla, porque algunos de los cadáveres que con frecuencia recibe en sus costas tienen que ver —más de lo que parece— con su pasado, su familia y sus tejemanejes. Y su trabajo, porque un caso que implica a sus amistades más íntimas, y que ni siquiera quería aceptar, terminará por envolverlo en una historia de violencia, traición, corrupción y ambición que lo va sacando, poco a poco, de la seguridad que había encontrado al otro lado de la línea…
    … Una línea que no es más que un muro de adjetivos, esos que no aparecen por ningún lado en esta novela que C. J. Nieto ha pergeñado con el pulso de los maestros del género y que nos fascinará por su pericia en el estilo, su pulso al narrar y, también, por su control del tempo y la tensión en la narración, su ironía y, sí, su conciencia.
    Porque los adjetivos pesan, y esta novela, sin aditivos, nos hace evidente, en su ausencia, cómo su carga lastra las vidas de los que viven evitando asomarse al otro lado de ese muro que separa a los blancos de los negros, a los corruptos de los puros, a los legales de los ilegales, a los violentos de los pacíficos… Pero ¿qué hacer cuando ese muro se ha derrumbado?
