On the limestone plateau of the Burren, where ancient rock meets the Atlantic and the land holds its secrets in silence, a man is found dead at the foot of a cliff.
Dr Barry O’Donnell — world-renowned geneticist, Nobel Prize candidate — was last seen setting out alone on a hiking trail above Eagle’s Rock. The evidence points to accident. Then to suicide. Then to something else entirely.
Detective Liam Connors and his new partner, Detective Rachel Burke, are assigned the case. Connors reads patterns. Rachel reads people. Together they make an unlikely partnership – and an unusually precise one.
But the Burren keeps more than one secret. Assigned to a ten-year-old cold case on her first day in Galway, Rachel cannot shake the feeling that the two investigations are connected. That the same landscape that witnessed one death may have witnessed another.
The Orchid in the Grike is a literary crime novel about what remains hidden in plain sight — in limestone, in memory, and in the people we think we know.
