COLD CASES. HOT LEADS. AND A KILLER STILL WATCHING . . .

State pathologist Terry O'Brien is about to take on her toughest role yet. Tasked with leading the Open Case Review Unit, her usual post-mortem work has been extended to cold-case investigation into unsolved suspicious deaths.

When a garda detective is murdered, his body mutilated and dumped on gangland ground, she is called in. As a large-scale investigation takes shape to hunt down the killers, Terry's post-mortem uncovers uncomfortable evidence.

She soon finds herself up against the powers that be. But, as new evidence emerges from her cold-case work that impacts closer to home, this may be the least of her worries. Can the identity of her sister Jenny's killer, all those years ago, be revealed And is this a truth best left buried

Deadly Evidence is a gripping page-turner that charts the course of a heroine of the mortuary who has come back from the brink once and remains determined to speak truth to power, whatever the cost.
