Evergreen is the name given to a community of travellers led by the formidable Patrick Ryan. When a young girl from within the community is found murdered Evergreen closes ranks as it attempts to discover the killer amongst them before their idyllic community implodes.Existing as outsiders from traditional British society, the families of Evergreen keep the killing secret, away from the Police who have hounded them for years, preferring instead to deal with the attack themselves,following their clan code. But the stakes are high and as the bodycount rises has Patrick allowed his alienation from the outside world to put Evergreen itself at stake?This dynamic of the outsider is used to great effect in this novel and the characters are well rounded and realistic. Featuring some dark and moody set pieces this is a well written and well executed murder thriller with a solid plot and some great twists. Gritty and realistic, this is not for the faint of heart but anyone looking for a dark mystery thriller would do well to put this on their reading list.
