Michael Scanlon writes Irish crime fiction featuring Detective Finnegan Beck, a flawed investigator working cases in small-town Ireland. Where She Lies (2018) introduced Beck and his methods, with a missing-person case that uncovered buried secrets. The Child Before (2019) and Her Last Goodnight (2020) continued his investigations.

The series uses rural Ireland as more than just a backdrop. The small communities where Beck works create their own kind of tension, where relationships go back decades and everyone has something to protect. Scanlon’s writing has a dark tone that fits the isolated settings and the kinds of crimes that happen when people know too much about each other.
