Someone is murdering the brutal pimps who traffic young girls into Cork, in this third Katie Maguire installment

In a grimy flat in the city of Cork, a burly man lies dead on a bloodstained mattress. His face is unrecognizable: seven gunshots have shattered cartilage and bone. Yet Detective Sergeant Katie Maguire, of the Irish Garda, knows exactly who he is. Amir Xaaji Maxamed, a Somali pimp she has unsuccessfully been trying to convict for years. Katie knows it's her job to catch the killer. But Maxamed was an evil man who trafficked young girls into Ireland to be sold for sex, and now that he's dead, the city is a safer place. When a second pimp is killed, Katie must decide. Are these vigilante murders justified? And how can she stop them spiraling out of control?

She was very beautiful and she was a very talented

‘So what do you plan to do? You’re not going to give up on him, are you? That wouldn’t be like you, if you don’t mind my saying so.’ ‘It wouldn’t, would it? No, I’m not giving up on Michael Gerrety, ever. Right now, though, we have to catch this Angel of Revenge or Avenging Angel or whatever she calls herself, so let’s just concentrate on that.’ Forty She had intended to stay with her father that night, but she didn’t finish work until 9.45 p.m., and when she rang him to tell him that she

Unfortunately, in recent years these cases have become increasingly common.

The waterworks. Of course, Katie knew what was coming next, but she could only wait with her cheese salad sandwich in her hand while Chief

All of these photographs had been taken by the technicians to record any forensics they might have found – any blood spatters or fingerprints, any smudges or scratches – but Katie liked to use them to reconstruct the scene of the crime.
