‘Compelling’ IRISH EXAMINER ‘Dark and twisty’ IRISH INDEPENDENT COLD CASES. HOT LEADS. AND A KILLER STILL WATCHING . . . STATE PATHOLOGIST TERRY O'BRIEN IS ABOUT TO TAKE ON HER TOUGHEST ROLE YET.

Tasked with leading the Open Case Review Unit, her usual post-mortem work has been extended to cold-case investigation into unsolved suspicious deaths. And the past is catching up fast.

When the body of a garda detective is found mutilated and dumped on gangland ground, a large-scale hunt for those responsible begins. But when Terry's autopsy exposes evidence the investigation would rather ignore, she finds herself pushing against powerful forces.

Then a breakthrough in one of her cold cases hits closer to home. Can the identity of her sister Jenny's killer finally be uncovered? Digging deeper though means unearthing secrets someone is desperate to keep buried.

Terry is running out of time - and the truth may cost her everything.

‘Terry is a strong addition to the ranks of Irish crime fiction's sleuths’ Irish Times

About the Author

During her 15-year career as Ireland's State Pathologist, Marie Cassidy became known to the Irish public as a trusted figure whose expertise helped to solve murders and clarify unexplained deaths. In over thirty years of practice, she performed thousands of postmortems and dealt with hundreds of murders. She has witnessed the burgeoning role of forensic science and the impact that has had on death investigation and the expectations of the general public, while embracing new technology and welcoming the input of experts in the other sciences. She retired at the end of 2018 to spend more time on the other passions in her life, her family and writing.

Marie is the author of three number one bestselling books: her memoir Beyond the Tape (2020) and novels Body of Truth and Deadly Evidence.
