The Set-up

by Liz Allen (Author)

Synopsis

In the bestselling style of Martina Cole comes this nail-biting thriller pitting a ruthless villain against a tough but vulnerable woman. 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 'Gritty and engrossing' - Irish World '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 '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
