Description
DS Katie Maguire and her team are stretched to their limit.
A gang of dognappers is terrorising Cork. The city's drug trade is at an all-time high. Now a girl has gone missing - and all in the glare of the media spotlight.
As Katie closes in on the truth, she realises that the three cases might be connected. But with every second she spends investigating, the clock ticks on for the missing girl, trapped in a living death...
Perfect for fans of Peter James, CJ Tudor and Chris Carter, Living Death is part of the darkly original million-copy-bestselling DS Katie Maguire thriller series, which can be read in any order.
