In Buried, Detective Sergeant Katie Maguire investigates a long-unsolved case involving a wealthy family's disappearance, revealing dark secrets and dangerous rivalries.

In Buried, Detective Sergeant Katie Maguire takes on the chilling case of a wealthy family's mysterious disappearance from Cork, Ireland. Set against the backdrop of Blarney, an old millworker's cottage holds dark secrets from 1921, when a mother, father, and their two young children vanished without a trace. The discovery of their mummified remains beneath the floorboards ignites a complex investigation that intertwines with the region's long-buried family rivalries, threatening to unravel the fragile peace of the community.

As Katie delves deeper into the ninety-five-year-old murder, she finds herself navigating a treacherous path filled with old grudges and hidden truths. The past refuses to stay buried, and the investigation stirs up emotions that many would prefer to keep hidden. With each revelation, Katie realizes that solving this case may come at a great personal cost, as the shadows of the past loom ever closer.

As Katie races against time to catch a killer, the stakes heighten, leaving readers questioning whether uncovering the truth will ultimately lead to her downfall. This thrilling narrative captivates fans of crime fiction, inviting them to join Katie on a harrowing journey through the depths of human nature and the consequences of uncovering buried secrets.
