Overview
Struggling to find his feet back in Ireland after a lengthy posting with Europol in Madrid, drugs specialist DI Mike Mulcahy finds himself in unfamiliar territory when he’s pulled in on the investigation into a horrific sex attack on a Spanish student. Mulcahy becomes convinced there is a more to it than a random sexual assault but his know-it-all colleagues and politically motivated bosses, eager for a quick, uncontroversial result, ignore his growing belief that the attack had religious rather than sexual motivations. Overruled, Mulcahy sets out on his own parallel investigation but he is frustrated at every turn until reporter Siobhan Fallon turns up asking awkward questions. As more young women are attacked, and assault turns to murder, Mulcahy and Fallon are drawn ever deeper into an uneasy alliance, each step they take hurtling them closer to a blood-drenched showdown with the monstrous killer known as “the Priest”
