A compelling tale of mystery, romance, and the irrepressible Walsh family from the internationally bestselling author Marian Keyes

Helen Walsh doesn't believe in fear--it's just something men invented to get all the money--and yet she's sinking. Her private investigator business has dried up, her flat has been repossessed, and now some old demons are resurfacing.

Chief among them is her charming but dodgy ex-boyfriend Jay Parker, who offers Helen a lucrative missing-persons case. Wayne Diffney from boyband Laddz vanished from his house in Mercy Close--and the Laddz have a sellout comeback gig in five days.

Helen has a new boyfriend, but Jay's reappearance proves unsettling. Playing by her own rules, Helen is drawn into a dark and glamorous world, where her own worst enemy is her own head and where increasingly the only person she feels connected to is Wayne, a man she has never even met.
