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?

'Startlingly well written' PETER JAMES

'Kept me on tenterhooks throughout' PATRICIA GIBNEY
