After lunch, washing up with her in the kitchen, O’Grady turned to Bridie. “Tell me,” he said. “If there were no Salters, who would inherit this farm?”

She stood in the thin sunlight of the kitchen. “There’s only Jason and myself left, but if we were to go it would be my next of kin—Bobby. But until Bobby is of age…” Her voice faltered as the truth dawned. “His next of kin would hold the lease for him. It would be his uncle.”

“Sean O’Connor,” O’Grady said. “Who puts money before everything else. Who needs the land for the mill race, so he has a water supply for his golf course. With his friend Kiley MacAteer, the man who murdered your sister.”

She was trembling as she faced him. “Finn. You must warn Jason.”

“I’ve tried. He wouldn’t listen.”

She grasped his arm. “So try again.”

O’Grady looked down at her. “You’re right,” he said. “The past. All those wrongs. It’s over. I was angry in the past. I’m even angrier now.” He stepped away, went out of the room, out of the house.

She heard the slam of the Audi door, the engine revving away into the distance.
