Claire McGowan est née en Irlande du Nord en 1981. Elle a grandi dans un village où l'événement le plus palpitant a sans doute été la cavalcade d'un troupeau de vaches le long de la route. Elle vit désormais à Londres où, après avoir exercé le métier de journaliste, elle a décidé de se consacrer à plein-temps à l'écriture. Ses romans policiers seront bientôt adaptés en série par BBC Drama. Elle a dirigé pendant deux ans la Crime Writer's Association et enseigne désormais l'écriture du roman noir dans une prestigieuse université londonienne. Elle se réjouit que ses romans soient désormais accessibles en français, une langue qu'elle parle couramment.

Victim: Female. Twenty-two years of age.
Reason for investigation: Missing person.
ID: Alice Morgan. Student. Last seen at a remote religious shrine in Ballyterrin.
Alice Morgan's disappearance raises immediate questions for forensic psychologist Paula Maguire. Alice, the daughter of a life pee0r in the Home Office, has vanished along with a holy relic - the bones of a saint - and the only trace is the bloodstains on the altar.
With no body to confirm death, the pressure in this high-profile case is all-consuming, and Paula knows that she will have to put her own life, including her imminent marriage, on hold, if they are to find the truth.
A connection to a decades-old murder immediately indicates that all may not be as it seems; as the summer heat rises and tempers fray, can Alice be found or will they learn that those that are hungry for vengeance may be the most savage of all?
