Meet Parva Corcoran, a coroner with a mysterious past, and a character who is as memorable as she is smart.
In ‘Bringing out the Dead’ the first three best-selling thrillers featuring Corcoran are collected together for the first time.
The collection includes -
Ward 19:
St Margaret's Hospital has 18 Wards. And one extra one that no one wants to visit. Ward 19. The mortuary. But when horribly dissected corpses starting appearing on the hospital grounds, it is about to get very crowded. The CID coroner Parva Corcoran must work out why the hospital's own staff - dedicated to saving lives - are being targeted by a serial killer who shows no mercy? And why the bodies have been horribly mutilated?
Bloody Angels:
Across Bristol, there are a series of brutal murders. Each one is more horrific than the last. And each has one thing in common. Messages are scrawled in blood next to the bodies -- messages that refer to passages in The Bible. It is the most baffling case of Parva Cororan's career. Is the killer a twisted religious fanatic? Or is it something even more sinister?
The Pact:
Four girls have been found dead at an exclusive private secondary school. The police report says ‘death by misadventure’, but the circumstances are suspicious. They were all happy, normal teenagers, with plenty to look forward to. So why would they have engaged in a suicide pact? Parva Corcoran is sent to investigate, under the guise of replacing the school’s biology teacher. As she gets to know the staff and pupils she is faced with a barrage of questions. Why would anyone want to murder four teenage girls? Was the killer trying to silence them?
'Bringing Out The Dead' is a chilling collection of expertly plotted detective stories that will grip readers from the first page to the last.
