Meet the Author - Dervla McTiernan

We are delighted to present an exclusive pre-release book launch event with Dervla McTiernan! Join us as we celebrate Dervla’s new book, What Happened to Nina?

About the Book

Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home.

What happened to Nina? Nobody knows. Simon’s explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn’t add up. Nina’s parents push the police for answers, and Simon’s parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm that quickly ramps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign. How far will his family go to keep him safe? How far will her family go to get to the truth?
