Publisher's Summary

Aspiring actress Elizabeth Smart lands her centre-stage role: her mutilated body is found dumped in North London's red light district. Clasped in her hand is a piece of human hair belonging to an unidentified body of a woman murdered two weeks ago.

PC Donal lands himself a place on the murder squad just as his unconventional brother, journalist Finton, unearths the secret double life of Elizabeth. The bodies mount, each clinging to the strands of hair belonging to the previous victim. The police are convinced it's the act of a serial killer. But how does Donal convince them it's not?

The only people he can trust are the victims he dances with in his dreams.

What the critics say

"With strong characters, hilarious dialogue and a thrilling plot, this book is a page-turner from the start. Impeccable descriptions made the story come alive and, when I thought it had ended, Nally threw another curveball. Exhilarating stuff." ( The Sun)

Well researched Irish Noir

Usually books based on Irish Troubles don’t hold my interest, but this is a notable exception. An exciting, richly detailed police procedural based partly on murder of the Black Dahlia in US about 70 odd years ago. In 1993, when this story unfolds , chilling murders of prostitutes have taken place in a local, shady nightclub. A young constable tries to establish a link between killing of American victim Elizabeth Short and current victims by studying cold cases of similar murders. He soon learns that these deaths go back into the history of his own father and his political friends, many of whom are corrupt. There is so much detail presented that you feel you are watching a live production. The narrator, Aidan Kelly, really kept the voices in Character. Never lost track of who was who. This was an unexpectedly good listen.
