Games with the Dead

Irish runaway. Insomniac. Functioning alcoholic.

Life is about to get complicated for DC Donal Lynch. When a young woman is kidnapped, Donal is brought in to deliver the ransom money. But the tightly-planned drop off goes wrong, Julie Draper is discovered dead, and Donal finds his job on the line - a scapegoat for the officers in charge. But when Donal is delivered a cryptic message in the night, he learns that Julie was killed long before the botched rescue mission. As he digs further into the murder in a bid to clear his own name, dark revelations make one thing certain: the police are chasing the wrong man, and the killer has far more blood on his hands than they could even imagine. A gripping, brutal and addictive thriller, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and James Oswald. A new detective crime series with standout appeal - a memorable detective, the blackest of humour and a touch of the supernatural.
Meet PC Donal Lynch - aspiring detective, alcoholic, insomniac, and seer of dead people...And his foil, psychologist Lilian Savage - she's trying to help Donal figure out if he's mad, ill...or actually sees the dead.
For fans of Stuart MacBride, James Oswald and Luke Delaney.
