The Set Up

by Liz Allen (Author)

Synopsis

Number One disappears after a night out with her girlfriends. She was young, successful and beautiful. Number Two disappears after working late at the office. She was young, successful and beautiful. Number Three disappears after a business trip to New York. She was young, successful and beautiful. The Dublin police are baffled, and call in Kate Waters, crime profiler, to give them a lead. Kate welcomes the job, but she has a history with the lead detective on the case, Timmy Vaughan, and they both fight to keep things on a firmly professional footing. As the investigation progresses, Kate and Vaughan realise they are dealing with some of Dublin's most vicious criminals - and that they seem to have an informer within their own ranks.

Media Reviews
'This well-researched crime thriller turns the spotlight on a world that most of us will be grateful never to visit.' -- Irish Independent on LAST TO KNOW 'Gritty and engrossing' -- Irish World on LAST TO KNOW 'A terrific read ... the plot sweeps along, never missing a beat ... we might even have a Minette Walters in the making here. More, please.' -- Irish Times Weekend Review on LAST TO KNOW 'Deftly plotted, the book bristles with the pace of a good news story ... It would be a crime not to read it.' -- Ireland on Sunday on LAST TO KNOW

She worked on several national newspapers in Dublin for 13 years, a career which took her into the depths of the Irish underworld and the judicial system, where she was called by the State to give evidence against several high-profile gangland figures.
