White bones

Edición de la obra White bones

One wet, windswept November morning, a field on Meagher's Farm gives up the dismembered bones of eleven women. In this part of Ireland, unmarked graves are common, but these bones date from 1915, long before the Troubles claimed their victims. What's more, these bones bear the marks of a meticulous butcher. These women were almost certainly skinned alive. D.S. Katie Maguire, with her elfin features and bright green eyes, may look like she has stepped out of an Irish folktale, but she's tougher than she seems - and as the only female detective in the Cork Garda, she needs to be. The rest of her murder squad think these long-dead women are a waste of police time. Katie is determined to give them justice. And then a young American tourist goes missing, and her clean bones, carefully stripped and arranged in an arcane pattern, are discovered on the same farm. With the crimes of the past echoing in the present, Katie must solve a decades-old murder steeped in ancient myth before this terrifying killer strikes again.
