The Doll's House
Trade Paperback
When the body of popular talk show host Keith Jenkins is discovered in the icy waters of the canal during the early hours of a chilly Dublin morning, everyone wants to know why. With media attention gaining momentum by the hour, the list of potential suspects is enormous. Is the killer a crazed fan? A disgruntled business associate? An angry participant from Jenkins' car-crash TV show 'Real People, Real Lives'? Or a completely random vicious attack?
D.I. O'Connor and a new squad of detectives from Harcourt Street team up with criminal psychologist Dr Kate Pearson to profile the killer, in an attempt to narrow down the search. Two days later a second body is found in the canal, with no apparent links between the victims. Meanwhile recovering alcoholic Clodagh Hamilton attempts to unravel the mysteries of her past by visiting a hypnotherapist and 'speaking' to her childhood dolls. As Clodagh discovers more and more about her personal history, it soon becomes possible that there is a link between her and the recent violent deaths. . .Buy now!
