THE BRAND-NEW STORY IN THIS BESTSELLING SERIES BOOK 16!

Paddy McCabe’s digger has brought up a human arm. The rest of the body is still in the bog.

Work on a new bungalow near Roundstone stops dead. Beneath the peat lies a young woman’s body, buried for more than twenty years.

Detective Inspector Maureen Lyons has built her reputation on results. But before she can hunt a killer, she needs to put a name to the woman in the bog.

The victim’s clothes weren’t cheap. Her jeans pocket holds thirty-five pounds in old Irish banknotes. And a deep wound at the base of her skull points to a deliberate attack.

Her shoes are missing.

Someone left her in a shallow grave on the Wild Atlantic Way. Now Maureen and her Galway team must piece together what happened on this lonely stretch of coastline, while the passing years have done their best to erase it.

It’s a long way back to start asking questions. But Maureen doesn’t like loose ends.

The killer has got away with this for an awfully long time. Maureen thinks that’s quite long enough.

Perfect for fans of J.D. Kirk, LJ Ross, Joy Ellis and Simon McCleave.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
Detective Inspector Maureen Lyons made her name by tripping a fleeing armed bank robber on Eyre Square. Now based at Galway’s Mill Street station, she has sharp instincts, an eye for an overlooked clue and little patience for loose ends. Her partner, Superintendent Mick Hays, shares her home in Salthill and her determination to get results. He’d happily swap another management meeting for some proper detective work. Together, they make a formidable team of thief-takers.

THE SETTING
From Galway’s busy streets to the white sandy beaches and bog roads of Connemara, this is the wild west of Ireland. Around Roundstone and Clifden, turf fires burn, Atlantic weather rolls in, and the local Gardaí know their neighbours. A chat over a mug of tea can be every bit as useful as a forensic report.
