Tana French has two books out - In the Woods and The Likeness. Both are police procedurals set in modern day Ireland. These books can be classified as psychological thrillers as well. We go along for the ride as French gets into the heads of her detectives. Rob Ryan, the detective in In the Woods, revisits one horrible night of his childhood. It's the night his two best friends disappear. No trace has ever been found of either of them. Rob was with them and he can't remember what happened or why he was found covered in blood.
Cassie Maddox, the detective in The Likeness, meets her double at a crime scene. Her double is the stabbing victim. Eerier still is the woman's identification. Her name is Lexie Madison. Lexie was a personality that Cassie created for an undercover assignment several years ago. Cassie old boss from her undercover days convinces her to become Lexie Madison so that they find the killer. The police tell Lexie's housemates that Lexie survived the stabbing and will be back soon. Cassie, as Lexie, moves in and soon Cassie isn't sure where her personality ends and Lexie's begins.
