The Seventh Body
€11.98
After decades of dereliction and inner-city neglect, Barrack Street, Cork is finally being excavated. The work uncovers the skeletal remains of six men, scattered around the site, their hands and feet all bound, all clearly killed violently, but many decades, even centuries, ago. When a seventh body is found, Detective Garda Alice McCann knows immediately this one is different. It’s female, for a start, and considerably more recent. Who was she? And who killed her? Alice is determined to find the truth and bring the killer to justice.

'A perfectly crafted police procedural with an unforgettable main character' JANE CASEY
THE TRUTH NEVER STAYS BURIED . . .
When parts of a human skeleton are discovered, building work on a derelict site in Cork grinds to a halt. An archaeological excavation soon unearths seven bodies.
Six are men who died centuries ago. The seventh body is different: female, and much more recent. 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.
But, 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?
