SEVEN DEADLY SINS
SEVEN BODIES
ONE RUTHLESS KILLER

When six human bodies are uncovered by a demolition crew on a derelict site in Cork, building work grinds to an immediate halt. The cadavers, all male, are soon revealed to have died centuries before.

But then a seventh is discovered. A woman. And unlike the others, recently buried.

What began as a historic find is now a crime scene.

Detective Garda Alice McCann is determined to track down the killer, even though she knows her superiors don't want her anywhere near such a high-profile case. Not after what happened before...

At every turn, her investigation reveals more questions than answers, more lies than facts. And someone powerful is watching her every move.

Can Alice uncover the truth before she's taken off the case - and before the killer strikes again?

A pulse-pounding police procedural from the Irish Times bestselling author of Cruel Deeds, perfect for fans of Jane Casey, Andrea Mara and Mark Billingham.
