Overview
Step into the dark heart of Cork, Ireland with DS Katie Maguire, the fearless detective at the center of Graham Masterton's crime series. This paperback set gathers the first six novels—White Bones, Broken Angels, Red Light, Taken for Dead, Blood Sisters, and Buried—into one gripping collection. Masterton, a former horror novelist, brings a chilling atmosphere to every case, pairing meticulous police procedure with visceral suspense. Fans of dark, twist-filled crime fiction will find a world where old secrets resurface as new murders, and one relentless detective refuses to let the guilty walk free.

About the Books
The Katie Maguire series follows Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire as she navigates the rain-slicked streets and quiet harbors of Cork, Ireland, uncovering crimes that reach far deeper than they first appear. Across these six novels, Graham Masterton builds a world where the past is never truly buried—old grudges, wartime secrets, and generational cruelty keep surfacing as fresh crimes and unanswered questions. White Bones opens the series with a horrifying discovery: eleven skeletons hidden in a farm field since 1915, each bearing the marks of a calculated killer. From there, the series escalates through Broken Angels, Red Light, Taken for Dead, Blood Sisters, and Buried, each book presenting a self-contained case while deepening Maguire's personal and professional journey. Masterton, who spent decades writing horror fiction before turning to crime, infuses every investigation with a genuinely unsettling atmosphere, balancing procedural realism with true dread. Cork itself becomes a character—its coastal cliffs, working-class neighborhoods, and centuries-old buildings hold secrets Maguire must coax into the light. Themes of institutional corruption, family loyalty, and the lasting scars of violence recur throughout the series, giving the series emotional weight beyond the puzzle of whodunit. Whether you're new to Irish crime fiction or a longtime fan of Masterton's writing, this collection offers a satisfying, immersive binge-read with a heroine worth rooting for from page one.
