Who Took Eden Mulligan?
2021
‘A hugely promising debut’ Irish Independent ‘Gripping and pacy’ Steve Cavanagh, Sunday Times bestselling author of Fifty Fifty ‘They’re dead. They’re all dead. It’s my fault. I killed them.’ Those are the words of Iona Gardener, who stands bloodied and staring as she confesses to the murder of four people in a run-down cottage outside of Belfast. Outside the cottage, five old dolls are hanging from a tree. Inside the cottage, the words “WHO TOOK EDEN MULLIGAN?” are graffitied on the wall, connecting the murder scene with the famous cold case of Eden Mulligan, a mother-of-five who went missing during The Troubles. But this case is different. Right from the start. Because no one in the community is willing to tell the truth, and the only thing DI Danny Stowe and forensic psychologist Rose Lainey can be certain of is that Iona Gardener’s confession is false…. Praise for Who Took Eden Mulligan? ‘A dark, disturbing and gripping read perfect for fans of Jane Casey, Patricia Gibney and Brian McGilloway’ Claire Allan 'Deftly and compellingly written' Anthony J Quinn ‘A twisting tale of intrigue that never lets up.’ Brian McGilloway ‘A dark, twisting, compelling tale’ Stuart Neville 'An intriguing, sophisticated read told in an authentic voice' Kelly Creighton ‘Gripping and pacy’ Steve Cavanagh ‘A hugely promising debut’ Irish Independent

The Midnight Killing
2022
She’d cycled this way hundreds of times before, every twist and turn familiar. She didn’t know this would be the last. When the body of local architect James McCallum is found hanging in the grounds of his former school one cold, dark night, DI Danny Stowe and forensic psychologist Rose Lainey suspect foul play behind his apparent suicide. To their astonishment, the trail leads to a 20-year-old cold case of a missing girl, and a teenage party. But what was James’ fascination with the case and how is it linked to his death? Secrets don’t stay buried forever… but the real killer will stop at nothing to hide theirs… An absolutely gripping and totally unputdownable crime thriller that will keep you up all night! Perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney, Val McDermid and Rachel Caine.
