Lie Steal Kill

By Amy Jordan

Amy Jordan returns to the world of detective Julia Harte with another dark Irish crime thriller full of jaw-dropping twists

* * * * *

When Detective Inspector Julia Harte retired, she was one of the most familiar faces in the Irish police force. Catapulted to fame in 1994 when her partner Adrian Clancy was murdered by Ireland’s most notorious serial killer, Julia risked everything to hunt down the man responsible.

But true recognition came two years later, when Julia tackled a cold case that pushed her into the public consciousness in a way she could never have imagined. That case began over three decades earlier, in 1960…

Irish Times bestselling author Amy Jordan returns with a blistering thriller featuring Julia Harte and a cold case that reignites in the most explosive way.
