Dublin Murders is drawn from Tana French's Internationally bestselling novels. Each book is led by a different detective from the same team and their signature is an intense emotional connection between cop and crime. This eight-part series, brilliantly adapted by Sarah Phelps, delivers psychological mystery and darkness with a tap root that drops deep down into Ireland's past, foreshadows the present and brings insight to its future.

As dusk approaches a town-land near Dublin in the summer of 1985, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours. Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Reilly, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a 13-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox--his partner and closest friend--find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.
