We’re delighted to announce that LASTING INFLUENCE, the eighth standalone mystery in Linda Hagan’s detective fiction series set in Northern Ireland, is on pre-order for release on 22nd July.

A kidnap, a murder, and a very tricky situation for a tough female detective…

Detective Chief Inspector Gawn Girvin is called back from extended leave when a social media influencer couple goes missing on the Northern Ireland coast.

One is the son of the Norwegian ambassador, and Gawn is specially requested to oversee bringing them home. Powerful figures are demanding results.

However, when videos emerge of the woman being tortured, the stakes are raised. Something tells Gawn it is not just money that the kidnappers want.

Meanwhile, a well-known criminal lawyer is executed in Belfast and a fingerprint is uncovered that is linked to events in Gawn’s family’s past.

Gawn will have to quickly tie up the loose threads, and avoid the trap awaiting her.
