Items related to A Savage Hunger (Paula Maguire 4): An Irish crime thriller...
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 peer 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?

Review:
A Savage Hunter is a taut, compelling thriller that merges ancient beliefs with a very modern crime. I love Paula Maguire, a real, flawed heroine with a complicated love life to rival Ruth's! All in all, a thoroughly satisfying and intelligent crime novel.―Elly Griffiths
A complex, disturbing, resonant novel that remains light on its feet and immensely entertaining―Irish Times
This is a powerful and disturbing novel―Book Oxygen
The best of the Paula series yet; weird, intriguing, gripping and original―Stav Sherez
Plenty of intrigue makes this a must read―Fanny Blake, Woman & Home
Page-turning―Guardian
Ireland's answer to Ruth Rendell―Ken Bruen
I read The Silent Dead with my heart in my mouth . . . brilliant―Erin Kelly
Astonishing, powerful and immensely satisfying―Peter James
