Begging to Die

Description

AN ABANDONED CHILD A young girl has been found in a deserted cemetery. She speaks a foreign language, and she cries for her mother. But nobody claims her. Nobody knows who she is. A MURDERED BEGGAR On the streets of Cork, homeless men and women are being murdered. It's up to DS Katie Maguire to find out. A CRUSADER AGAINST CRUELTY Katie's fiance is embroiled in a dangerous battle: against illegal dog fighting, a black market run by Ireland's most fearsome gangs. When the investigations collide, who will Katie save first? She knows that for those left behind, there's only one choice: START BEGGING TO DIE.

Graham Masterton trained as a newspaper reporter before beginning a career as an author. After twenty-five years writing horror and thrillers, Graham turned his talent to crimewriting. The first book in the Katie Maguire series, White Bones, was published by Head of Zeus in 2012 and became a top-ten bestseller. The series was inspired by Graham's five-year stay in County Cork.
