What to expect
Should she catch the killer – or let them strike again?
On a bloodstained mattress in a grimy flat, a man lies dead. A terrified girl kneels over his body. She has been trapped here for three days. It doesn't take DS Katie Maguire long to identify the murder victim: he's a cruel and powerful pimp she's been trying to convict for years.
It's Katie's job to catch the killer. But with men like this dead, the city is safer – and so are the frightened young women who are trafficked into Cork. When a second pimp is horrifically murdered, Katie must decide. Should she do her job, or follow her conscience and allow the killer to strike again?
Perfect for fans of Peter James, CJ Tudor and Chris Carter, Red Light is part of the darkly original million-copy-bestselling DS Katie Maguire thriller series, which can be read in any order.
