A gruesome copycat killing that reaches back through the misty years of Ireland’s history.

Detective Katie Maguire's story

- Never had a woman pay me that much attention before. And this one had already saved my life. Relax, she said. I couldn’t have been more relaxed if I’d tried.

Paul Maguire's story

- Nice little earner, that made it worth my while. Shouldn’t be any comeback. He couldn’t complain about losing it since all the stuff was stolen in the first place.

John Meagher's story

- My father died, so it was up to me to run the farm. Cork is a long, long way from California, in every way you can imagine.

Professor Gerard O’Brien's story

- Celtic mythology is my subject, but this has taken me in a completely new direction. Irish history will have to be rewritten.

Eamonn Collins' story

- She said she wanted me to be emphatic. No point hanging around. Actually, maybe that was exactly what was needed.
