    Having inexplicably nabbed the Duke of Kesgrave, twenty-six-year-old spinster Beatrice Hyde-Clare is determined to marry him at once. 
     
    No amount of handwringing from anxious family members, worried friends and well-meaning acquaintances will convince her to delay. Except… maybe she is a little swayed by her uncle’s efforts to make amends for treating her with cold indifference during her childhood. 
     
    And her aunt’s concern about the growing scandal around her unfortunate habit of unmasking murderers in the middle of society events isn’t entirely unfounded. 
     
    And then there’s the truly unfathomable appearance on her doorstep of the former Miss Brougham, the spiteful heiress whose cruel taunts derailed Bea’s social career. Remarkably, the society matron has a mystery to solve and knows Bea is the only person who can help her. A dead grandfather, a missing jewel, a cryptic letter, an opportunity to condescend to her archnemesis—the case seems simple enough. 
     
    And yet somehow it all goes terribly, horribly wrong.

    'Coakley delivers another hard-hitting assured thriller'— Catherine Kirwan
    Fresh from solving a harrowing abduction case linked to drug gangs in Kerry, Detective Tim Collins returns to Cork City, only to discover that lurking in the shadows of its fabled lanes lies a world he's unprepared for.
    A series of harrowing crimes—neglected by the very police force sworn to protect—has the city's most vulnerable people on edge.
    As Collins digs deeper, the line between justice and revenge blurs. Trust becomes a luxury he can't afford as allies become adversaries and the truth slips further away. The streets he once knew now hold secrets that challenge everything he knows, forcing him to confront the demons of his haunted past—a past rooted in his formative years at University College Cork making him question the nature of justice and the path he has chosen in its pursuit.
    As the story unfolds, Tim must decide how far he will go to uncover the truth and whether redemption lies at the end of the road. The question remains: Can one man make a difference?
    Experience the brutal and blood-soaked world of Detective Tim Collins in the third instalment of this riveting series. Filled with unforeseen twists, this book promises a visceral journey that will hold you in suspense from beginning to end.
