YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD WOMAN DOWN
Someone is brutally killing priests.
Is it revenge? Or something more sinister?
One cold spring morning in County Cork, two fishermen find a body floating in the Blackwater River: the mutilated corpse of a retired music teacher. His hands and feet are bound, and his neck bears the mark of a garrotting wire.
The Garda want to wrap this case up before the press get hold of it, but when a second man is found murdered, his body bearing all the same marks as the first, DS Katie Maguire knows the press are the least of their worries – this could be the work of a serial murderer...
Perfect for fans of Peter James, CJ Tudor and Chris Carter, Broken Angels is part of the darkly original million-copy-bestselling DS Katie Maguire thriller series, which can be read in any order.
