St Margaret's Hospital has 18 Wards. And one extra one that no one wants to visit. Ward 19. The mortuary. But when horribly dissected corpses starting appearing on the hospital grounds, it is about to get very crowded. The CID coroner Parva Corcoran must work out why the hospital's own staff - dedicated to saving lives - are being targeted by a serial killer who shows no mercy? And why the bodies have been horribly mutilated? As she starts to uncover the horrifying truth of Ward 19, her own professional past is called into question. And as she digs into the toughest case of her career, the reality is far worse than anything she could have imagined.

Four girls have been found dead at an exclusive private secondary school. The police report says ‘death by misadventure’, but the circumstances are suspicious. They were all happy, normal teenagers, with plenty to look forward to. So why would they have engaged in a suicide pact? Parva Corcoran is sent to investigate, under the guise of replacing the school’s biology teacher. As she gets to know the staff and pupils she is faced with a barrage of questions. Why would anyone want to murder four teenage girls? Was the killer trying to silence them? Was something being covered up? As Parva gets closer the truth, she begins to believe her own life is in danger… Can she solve the mystery? Or will she become part of the deadly pact…? ‘Suicide Blondes’ is a gripping suspense thriller, featuring Parva Corcoran, a coroner with a mysterious past, and a character who is as memorable as she is smart.
