Bloodlands

DCI Tom Brannick and his partner, DS Niamh McGovern, are called to the scene of a shooting on the shores of Strangford Lough. Tom recognizes the victim as a wealthy accountant from his troubled past, and the subsequent investigation of the dead man"s widow, Olivia Foyle, leads Tom into a web of intrigue that is inextricably bound to his previous misdeeds.

The search for Olivia"s driver, Robert Dardis, takes Tom and Niamh to an abandoned house. Tom takes advantage of the unfolding situation to deceive his colleagues, but a heated confrontation leads to a fatal mistake. Tom"s relationship with Olivia deepens, as each recognizes the value the other has in their search for the gold.

Tom and Olivia race to track down the gold before the police can find it. Olivia proves her worth by sharing information with Tom that leads him and Niamh to a major breakthrough and an arrest. But the more Tom hears about Olivia from other sources, the more he realizes she cannot be trusted.

With the origins of the gold confirmed, an American gangster named Ryan Savage arrives in Dunfolan to take back what belongs to his family. As Tom and Olivia close in on the gold, Niamh and Birdy inch closer to the truth. Izzy pressures Birdy to break the news of their relationship to Tom, but then her new boyfriend makes a shocking discovery.

Tom is forced to suppress his rage in order to cover up the crime that Olivia has committed. Tom struggles to recover the gold—and the evidence that could incriminate him—as a revelation from Izzy knocks him off course. Olivia overplays her hand to disastrous effect, and gangster Ryan Savage nears acquiring what he desires most.

The police investigation threatens to collide with Tom"s illicit pursuit of Olivia, the murder weapon, and the gold. Tom must move the pieces into place so he can come out on top. Under immense pressure, he choreographs a final reckoning that will endanger those closest to him and force him to reveal the dark truth of who he really is.
