Catriona King is one of my favourite crime writers. I am delighted to feature her here.
Catriona is giving away THE TALION CODE, #13 in the Craig Crime Series, free in eBook format from Friday the 14th February to Monday the 17th 2020. The link is below.
THE
CRAIG CRIME SERIES is a popular detective fiction series written
by author Catriona King, with storylines set in modern day Ireland and overseas.
Catriona is a doctor with training as a forensic medical officer and has always
written, not only in the crime genre but in science fiction and fantasy.
The Craig series centres on the cases of the Belfast
Murder Detective Squad led by DCI (later DCS) Marc Craig and combines crime
solving with the often touching and humorous interactions between the members
of the squad.
There are twenty-two full length published novels in
the series set between two thousand and twelve and two thousand and nineteen, each
of which can be read as a standalone (biographies of the main characters’
backgrounds and briefs on the main location are provided at the back of each
novel).
Each novel covers the eventual solution of a murder
or murders in very different contexts and ways, combining cutting-edge
techniques and technologies with traditional crime solving approaches and utilising
the differing talents of the murder team. The plots in the series cover
variously: gangs, international people trafficking, technology based crime e.g.
computer hacking and cryptocurrency, County Line drug gangs, drones, sex
auctions, political intrigue, fraud, religious sects, family murders and many
more topics, with some based on true events that have happened around the
world.
Whilst the focus of the series isn’t on the period of The Troubles in
Northern Ireland but rather on the country as it is now, a modern multicultural
democracy, some of the characters and storylines have a background in the
conflict on the various sides.
The latest novel in the series is THE GOOD WOMAN, which begins with a
murder victim being found near a well known rural landmark. Sightings of two
mysterious women in the area make the case one of the murder squad’s most
confusing in years, and the unravelling of long-held secrets leads them to a
perilous stand-off in which someone dies.
Meanwhile, a boy who was kidnapped
from Portugal in twenty-seventeen and trafficked for adoption to America is
abducted for a second time, and the unearthing of a century old Irish grudge
sends two of Craig’s team searching for answers across the sea.
The next Craig Crime novel, THE LEGACY, will be released in April 2020.
