"The final book in French's Cal Hooper trilogy sees the retired Chicago detective drawn into a power struggle for the future of the small Irish town he has made his home."
"When the body of Rachel Holohan, girlfriend of the son of local bigshot Tommy Moynihan, is recovered from the river, the consensus is suicide, but Trey convinces Hooper to investigate."
"An immersive, slow-burn of a book, as much about the march of time and the inevitably changing nature of Irish rural life as it is about solving a crime."
The Keeper concludes the Cal Hooper trilogy, featuring a retired Chicago detective in a small Irish town. Hooper, engaged to local widow Lena and mentoring Trey, becomes entwined in the community.
