Description
A young girl has been found in a deserted cemetery.
She speaks a foreign language, and she cries for her mother. But nobody comes forward to claim her or seems to know who she is.
On the streets of Cork, homeless men and women are being murdered. It's up to DS Katie Maguire to get them justice.
Katie's fiance is embroiled in a dangerous battle against Ireland's most fearsome gangs.
When the investigations collide, who will Katie save first? She knows that for those left behind, there's only one choice:
Start begging to die.
'One of this country's most exciting crime novelists.' Daily Mail
