Dead men sometimes do tell tales When his former fiancee Karen McGill calls, desperately pleading for his help after the violent death of her lover in Northern Ireland, Connor Fraser jumps at the chance. It''s a way to escape the chaos his life in Stirling has become, from his fractured relationship with his girlfriend to his gran''s worsening dementia and the three kidnappings around Stirling. Kidnappings that nag at Connor and stir up a ghost he had thought long since put to rest. Returning to Northern Ireland, Connor is plunged into his past and the unquiet spirits that lay in wait there. From the back streets of Belfast to the Mourne Mountains, Connor faces a race to find a killer whose links to Belfast are as complicated, intimate and deadly as his own. A killer who knows where all the bodies are buried. A killer who wants Connor Fraser to be his next, and final, victim. Praise for Neil Broadfoot: ''Tense, fast-moving and bloody.
