A TENSE AND UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER WHICH SPENT OVER TWENTY WEEKS AT NO. 1 ON THE HARDBACK BESTSELLER LIST IN IRELAND

A killer is on the loose in Dublin's Central Maternity Hospital.

When a young laboratory assistant is found brutally murdered at her bench, the only clue is a blood-stained scalpel.

DS Kate Hamilton suspects the murderer is among the silent hospital staff, desperate to protect their reputations. As she closes in on the killer, she little realises that the hunter has become the hunted.

A newborn baby has gone missing.

In the same week, the child of one of Ireland's top industrialists is kidnapped, born at the Central Maternity Hospital only days before the murder.

Will Hamilton catch the killer before he gets to his next victim? Will the police find the baby before it's too late?

As they race against time, every patient's nightmare is about to come true.
