Broken Harbor Tana French Irish novelist and actress Tana French won the 2007 Edgar Award for her New York Times bestselling debut novel In the Woods. “Drawn by the grim nature of her plot and the lyrical ferocity of her writing, even smart people who should know better will be able to lose themselves in these dark woods,” praised the New York Times Book Review. She followed In the Woods with The Likeness and Faithful Place, both bestselling installments in French’s psychological crime series about the Dublin Murder Squad. Her suspenseful novels feature complex characters living in layered worlds of memory, identity, and loss. In Broken Harbor, the much-anticipated fourth book in the series, star detective Scorcher Kennedy investigates the deaths of two children and their father in a half-built estate outside Dublin.

Now both French and Detective Cassie Maddox return to unravel a case even more sinister and enigmatic than the first. Six months after the events of In the Woods, an urgent telephone call beckons Cassie to a grisly crime scene. The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used. Suddenly, Cassie must discover not only who killed this girl, but, more importantly, who is this girl? A disturbing tale of shifting identities, The Likeness firmly establishes Tana French as an important voice in suspense fiction. About the Author Tana French grew up in Ireland, Italy, the US and Malawi, and has lived in Dublin since 1990. She trained as a professional actress at Trinity College, Dublin, and has worked in theatre, film and voiceover. Praise for The Likeness… " Tana French aces her second novel. The Likeness is a nearly pitch- perfect follow-up to her 2007 debut thriller, In the Woods." -Entertainment Weekly " The Likeness is a book even better than the first, which was very good indeed. . . . The suspense is gut-grinding . . . A wonderful book." -New York Daily News " For The Likeness, French has brought back detective Cassie Maddox and fashioned a plot that harks back to both Donna Tartt and Wilkie Collins." -The Washington Post " French's already signature blend of psychological insight, beautiful writing and wry humor is on display once more in The Likeness." -The Baltimore Sun
