'A love letter to Liverpool, with a touch of Peaky Blinders.' S.E. Moorhead, Author of Witness X 'A thoroughly enjoyable debut.' Catherine Fearns, Author of the Reprobation Series WHEN SECRETS RESURFACE THE PAST REACHES OUT... 2004 The discovery of a body in the Liverpool docklands unearths long forgotten secrets. Reporter Anne McCarthy is keen to prove herself and dives into the case with abandon. There she finds Michael, an old Irish caretaker who knows far more than he's letting on and may have a connection to the body. Vinny Connolly is starting a postgrad degree, researching Liverpool's migrant history and a burgeoning Scouse identity. But Vinny has been neglecting his own family history and stranger Michael might know about his father's disappearance in the 70s. 1955 Escaping poverty in Ireland and fresh off the boat, Michael falls in with Wicklow boys Jack Power and Paddy Connolly, who smuggle contraband through the docks, putting them at odds with the unions. While organisers rally the dockworkers against the strikebreakers and rackets. A story of corruption, secret police, and sectarianism slowly unravels. But will the truth out? As the conflict heightens, Michael questions the life sprawling out ahead of him, while in the present, Anne races to solve the mystery, but is she prepared for what she'll find?
