CLAIRE MCGOWAN

Publication: Headline, 2014, London

First edition. Signed by the author. Fine in dust jacket. A stolen baby. A murdered woman. A decades-old atrocity. Something connects them all. A month before Christmas, and Ballyterrin on the Irish border is covered with snow. When a newborn baby disappears from the hospital, it's all too close to home for forensic psychologist Paula Maguire. Then a woman is found in a stone circle with her stomach cut open and it's clear a brutal killer is on the loose. As another child is taken and a pregnant woman disappears, Paula is caught up in the hunt for a killer who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
