Why a Booktrail?
2000s: The hole they dug was not deep. A white flour bag encased the little body. The child in the middle said ‘I wonder which one of us will be next?’
The Missing Ones
What you need to know before your trail
A woman’s body is discovered in a cathedral and only a few hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree outside his home. Detective Lottie Parker is called in to lead the investigation. Both bodies have the same distinctive tattoo clumsily inscribed on their legs. But the connection between them is far from clear.
Lottie begins to link the current victims to unsolved murders decades old, two teenage boys go missing. She must close in on the killer before they strike again, but in doing so is she putting her own children in terrifying danger?
Someone has a very warped idea of justice.

Ragmullin
A fictional setting of a town down on its luck. The real town of Mullingar is on the map instead given the similar name and the fact this is where the author hails from. An author homage in an imaginary town gives you two trails for the price of one
The Ragmullin cathedral plays a large part in the story and the streets of the town are paved with many secrets. St Angela’s for example had been a home for wayward children, and many children were left and abandoned by parents struggling to cope. The story of this establishment is key to the present day cloud over the town. Of course this is all fictional. The town and the landscape is chilling, dark , tinged with sadness and foreboding.
Issues of child abuse and the Catholic Church may upset some readers.
