Bloodlands

When a car belonging to a known crime associate is pulled from the sea in Northern Ireland, Detective Tom Brannick finds an ominous postcard that connects to a shadowy case from the past: an assassin nicknamed Goliath. Tom and his colleague DS Niamh McGovern investigate, but the community’s distrust of the police hinders their progress.

Tom reels from the discovery of three bodies buried 20 years ago—one of which may be his wife. Tom and Niamh interview Pat Keenan, the man who was kidnapped, but he won’t say who abducted him. Later, Tom confronts Adam Corry, who was hunting Goliath.

As Tom scrambles to cover up what he’s done, Adam Corry is deemed a missing person and his house becomes a crime scene. Tom searches for the woman in Pat’s car and finds a connection to Tori, his daughter’s medical school teacher.

Tom’s superior is arrested and interviewed, but Tori worries there’s not enough evidence for a conviction. Niamh remains unconvinced that they’ve finally caught Goliath and starts her own investigation.

DCI Tom Brannick and his partner, DS Niamh McGovern, are called to the scene of a shooting on the shores of Strangford Lough. Tom recognizes the victim as a wealthy accountant from his troubled past, and the subsequent investigation of the dead man’s widow, Olivia Foyle, leads Tom into a web of intrigue that is inextricably bound to his previous misdeeds.

The search for Olivia’s driver, Robert Dardis, takes Tom and Niamh to an abandoned house. Tom takes advantage of the unfolding situation to deceive his colleagues, but a heated confrontation leads to a fatal mistake. Tom’s relationship with Olivia deepens, as each recognizes the value the other has in their search for the gold.
