Welcome to Litsy!

She had taken only one step towards the hotel when she heard the car door opening, and then something had her by the shoulders in a grip like steel. Penny tried to fight, but it was no good. The last thing she heard as consciousness drifted away was the whisper of a familiar song� In a small town on Ireland�s west coast, a young woman named Penelope O�Dwyer leaves a restaurant. It should take five minutes to walk back to where she�s staying. In those five minutes she disappears without a trace. It�s a few days before the tape arrives. The kidnapper�s face is masked, his voice distorted, but no one doubts for a second he will follow through on his threat: a ritual murder at the end of October � and after that, many more murders to come. Penelope has two weeks to live. And the police don�t have a single lead. Detective Seamus Keneally insists they need help. Especially when imprisoned murderer Frederick Morgan offers vital information connecting this case to a series of historic murders. But he will only speak to one person: criminal behaviourist Jessie Boyle. Jessie is still grieving after a brutal tragedy that cut her career in London short � but right now, she�s the only chance Penelope has. Morgan claims this is the work of a serial killer who�s been working in the shadows for longer than the police have ever realised. Now Jessie must use all her instincts and insight to get inside the mind of a criminal more ruthless than any she�s faced in her career � before the evil that has secretly stalked Ireland for decades is unleashed again. A totally breathtaking and chilling crime thriller that will keep you gripped to the very last page, perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, A.J. Rivers, Tana French and Lisa Gardner.
