Murder of a Runaway: A Detective Murder Mystery Thriller
About this ebook
Three women chasing dreams. Three lives headed for tragedy.
Lin Hui and Cheung Mingzhu leave Shenzhen, China, on scholarships to study in Belfast. Alina Balauru departs rural Romania for the promise of well-paid work in Northern Ireland.
But when one of them is found dead in the garden of an upscale Belfast home, DCI Jim Sheehan and his Serious Crimes Unit are thrust into their most harrowing case yet.
Their investigation collides with violent Chinese racketeers, brutal human traffickers, and a fiendishly clever killer known only as The Shadow. The trail splits in two impossible directions, each more dangerous than the last.
As Sheehan closes in, he uncovers The Shadow’s method — and his next targets. But the clock is ticking, and every hour brings another young woman closer to death.
Can Sheehan stop a predator who hides in plain sight before more dreams are destroyed?
Murder of a Runaway is Book 5 of the award-winning Inspector Sheehan Mysteries series.
