‘A hugely promising debut’ Irish Independent ‘Gripping and pacy’ Steve Cavanagh, Sunday Times bestselling author of Fifty Fifty ‘They’re dead. They’re all dead. It’s my fault. I killed them.’ Those are the words of Iona Gardener, who stands bloodied and staring as she confesses to the murder of four people in a run-down cottage outside of Belfast. Outside the cottage, five old dolls are hanging from a tree. Inside the cottage, the words “WHO TOOK EDEN MULLIGAN?” are graffitied on the wall, connecting the murder scene with the famous cold case of Eden Mulligan, a mother-of-five who went missing during The Troubles. But this case is different. Right from the start. Because no one in the community is willing to tell the truth, and the only thing DI Danny Stowe and forensic psychologist Rose Lainey can be certain of is that Iona Gardener’s confession is false…. A tense, atmospheric and utterly gripping story, perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons and Rachel Caine. **The next title in this unputdownable series The Midnight Killing is available to read now!*** Praise for Who Took Eden Mulligan?: ‘A dark, disturbing and gripping read perfect for fans of Jane Casey, Patricia Gibney and Brian McGilloway’ Claire Allan 'Deftly and compellingly written' Anthony J Quinn ‘A twisting tale of intrigue that never lets up.’ Brian McGilloway ‘A dark, twisting, compelling tale’ Stuart Neville 'An intriguing, sophisticated read told in an authentic voice' Kelly Creighton ‘Gripping and pacy’ Steve Cavanagh ‘A hugely promising debut’ Irish Independent

A totally addictive crime thriller and mystery novel packed with nail-biting suspense
A totally addictive crime thriller and mystery novel packed with nail-biting suspense • Sharon Dempsey is an exciting new voice to add to the Irish crime writing community, and will be an Avon focus title for HarperCollins Ireland. • A clever, compassionate and gripping story. The author does an expert job at writing about grief, fear, love and emotional damage whilst packing in twists and turns aplenty. The cold case of Eden Mulligan’s disappearance is just as compelling as the present-day murder investigation, making for the ultimate pacy, page-turning reading experience. • This is the first novel in a brand new Belfast-based procedural series. With key Avon authors Helen Fields and Katerina Diamond moving into standalone territory, we are perfectly placed to launch a new police procedural series. • Dynamic between Danny and Rose is brilliant and readers are guaranteed to be invested in their character (and relationship!) development in forthcoming books. Sharon’s next book will focus on a false suicide, which once again forces the past into the open in the way that she does so well.
