Description

A "solved" murder wakes up again under Cork's Christmas lights.

Christmas lights go up in Cork as Cassandra O'Neill's "solved" murder wakes back into motion. The wreckage of a laptop, fresh statements, and old money point to the Terminal's private economy — art, favours, and people who don't leave receipts. What was filed away starts to feel unfinished, and the cost of reopening it isn't paid in paperwork.

Mason Maloney is trying to stop disappearing from his own life, trying to let Dr Tim Button in, but the city has a way of finding the vulnerable seam. Detective Bria Friday and Senan Bunsi pull at the knots, and the case pulls back — tightening around the people closest to it, and the ones determined to keep it closed. Memory won't sit still. Loyalty has its limits. And when someone decides the only safe ending is another body, the question becomes brutally simple: who gets to decide what stays "solved"?
