Donal can’t forget the horrific sight that faced him – and
he knows this case can’t go unsolved. But how do you

Critics Review
-
With strong characters, hilarious dialogue and a thrilling plot, this book is a page-turner from the start. Impeccable descriptions made the story come alive and, when I thought it had ended, Nally threw another curveball. Exhilarating stuff. THE SUN
