YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD WOMAN DOWN... KATIE MAGUIRE IS BACK.

A DEADLY CAMPAIGN An explosion in a house in inner-city Cork sends shock waves through the community. Two people are killed in the blast and, at first, their deaths are believed to be the tragic result of a gas leak - but the victims' pasts suggest otherwise.

A HISTORY OF TERROR The target is clear: the Dripsey Dozen, a group created by descendants of five local IRA soldiers who were executed for their crimes in 1921.

A POLICE CONSPIRACY Despite the surviving members of the Dozen being relocated to safe houses, the bombing continues. Which means a leak at Anglesea Street Garda station is supplying confidential information to this new terrorist.

This is suspended officer DS KATIE MAGUIRE's chance to get back on the force - and stop a traitor from burning Cork to the ground...

Pay Back the Devil is the gripping twelfth instalment of million-copy-bestselling Graham Masterton's dark and gritty procedural series.
