The Seventh Body

A chilling, gripping female detective thriller, inspired by true events, for fans of Andrea Mara, Jane Casey, and Catherine Ryan Howard. When building work begins in a derelict neighbourhood, six dead bodies are uncovered - and then another is found . . .

An excavation beneath a derelict pub on Barrack Street in Cork uncovers the skeletal remains of six men. All died violently, centuries ago.

But when a seventh body is found, Detective Garda Alice McCann can see immediately that it's different. It's female, for a start, and considerably more recent.

Who was she? And who killed her?

Alice is determined to find the truth and bring the killer to justice - and, after a few bad years which have her life and career in ruins, this might just be the case to get her back on track.

But powerful forces are hell-bent on getting in her way. How can she hope to find the truth when everyone around her has something to hide?
