The last sighting of her is entering the house of Gloria Fitzpatrick, who is later put on trial for the murder of another woman whose abortion she facilitated. But it's never proved that Gloria had a hand in Julia's death & Julia's body has never been found. Gloria, however, is sentenced to life in an institution for the criminally insane, until her apparent suicide a few years later, & the truth of what happened to Julia Bridges dies with her. Dublin, 1968. Nicoletta Sarto is an ambitious junior reporter for the Irish Sentinel when the bones of Julia Bridges are found in the garden of a house on the outskirts of Dublin. Drawn into investigating the 25-year-old mystery of Julia's disappearance & her link to the notorious Gloria Fitzpatrick, the story takes Nicoletta into the tangled underworld of the illegal abortion industry, stirring up long-buried secrets from her own past.
