For fans of Alex Barclay and Niamh O'Connor, Little Bones introduces Cathy Connolly, a bright young heroine set to take the world of crime fiction by storm. When garda Cathy Connolly is called to investigate a routine break-in, she's horrified by a grisly discovery: a vintage wedding dress, the hem lined with a baby's bones. The case quickly escalates when the dress is connected to top Dublin fashion magnate Lavinia Grant - who has died that very day. The initial evidence suggests natural causes; Cathy suspects otherwise. The investigation pairs her with O'Rourke, an old friend from the force with whom she has a past. Normally Cathy would welcome his support - but she's nursing a secret of her own, which becomes all the more difficult under his watchful gaze. However she can ill afford to become distracted. An infamous Las Vegas gangster has arrived in the city, leaving two bodies - and a buzzing FBI investigation - in his wake. This cold case is about to become very hot indeed ... 'Instantly gripping, perfectly paced, and filled with a brilliant cast of characters, led by the utterly likeable and relatable Detective Cathy Connolly ... from the murky depths of these buried secrets comes an ending that truly shines. ' - Alex Barclay.
