No one is innocent in this story. First Rule: Make them like you.
Second Rule: Make them need you. Third Rule: Make them pay. They
think I'm a young, idealistic law student, that I'm passionate
about reforming a corrupt and brutal system. They think I'm working
hard to impress them. They think I'm here to save an innocent man
on death row. They're wrong. I'm going to bury him. 'Ingenious'
SUNDAY TIMES 'Gripping and full of tension, with twist after
unexpected twist. You won't just read The Murder Rule, you'll
devour it.' - Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of

'Beautifully drawn characters' LAURA MARSHALL ***** February 1993
On his first week on the job, Garda Cormac Reilly responds to a
call at a decrepit country house to find two silent, neglected
children waiting for him - fifteen-year-old Maude and five-year-old
Jack. Their mother lies dead upstairs. March 2013 Twenty years
later, Cormac has left his high-flying career as a detective in
Dublin and returned to Galway. As he struggles to navigate the
politics of a new police station, Maude and Jack return to haunt
him. What ties a recent suicide to the woman's death so long ago?
And who among his new colleagues can Cormac really trust? This
powerful debut will draw you into the dark heart of Ireland and ask
who will protect you when the authorities can't - or won't. Perfect
for fans of Val McDermid, Tana French and Susie Steiner. *****

WAY BRILLIANCE CAN BE DEADLY . . . When Detective Cormac Reilly's
girlfriend Emma stumbles across the victim of a hit and run early
one morning, he is first on the scene of a murder that would never
have been assigned to him. The investigation promises to be high
profile and high pressure: the dead girl is carrying an ID, that of
Carline Darcy, heir apparent to Ireland's most successful
pharmaceutical company. Darcy Therapeutics has a finger in every
pie, including the laboratory where Emma works. As Cormac
investigates, evidence mounts that the death is linked to the lab
and, increasingly, to Emma herself. Cormac is sure she couldn't be
involved, but how well does he really know her? After all, this
isn't the first time Emma's been accused of murder . . . ******
