DS Cormac Reilly is first on the scene of a homicide that would never have been assigned to him when his girlfriend Emma finds the victim of a hit-and-run early one morning. The deceased girl is carrying Carline Darcy's identification, which is that of the presumed heir of Darcy Therapeutics, the most prosperous pharmaceutical firm in Ireland. Darcy Therapeutics is involved in many aspects of society, including philanthropy, political party fundraising, and university research facilities sponsorship. Emma's groundbreaking research has been supported by the company. There will be a lot of pressure and attention on the Carline death inquiry.
Evidence that the death is connected to a Darcy laboratory and, more and more, to Emma herself grows as Cormac looks into it. Although Cormac is certain she couldn't be involved, how much of a real friend is she? Ultimately, Emma has faced accusations of murder before.
