    "description": "Blood stains the altar. Can she be found?\n\nPaula Maguire, forensic psychologist is called in to investigate a missing girl and the disappearance of a holy relic in Claire McGowan\u2019s exhilarating fourth novel in the series, A SAVAGE HUNTER.\n\nVictim: Female. Twenty-two years of age.\nReason for investigation: Missing person.\nID: Alice Morgan. Student. Last seen at a remote religious shrine in Ballyterrin.\n\nAlice Morgan\u2019s disappearance raises immediate questions for forensic psychologist Paula Maguire. Alice, the daughter of a life pee0r in the Home Office, has vanished along with a holy relic \u2013 the bones of a saint \u2013 and the only trace is the bloodstains on the altar.\n\nWith no body to confirm death, the pressure in this high-profile case is all-consuming, and Paula knows that she will have to put her own life, including her imminent marriage, on hold, if they are to find the truth.\n\nA connection to a decades-old murder immediately indicates that all may not be as it seems; as the summer heat rises and tempers fray, can Alice be found or will they learn that those that are hungry for vengeance may be the most savage of all?",
