The Traders
While in Rome enjoying his sister's wedding and a well-deserved family holiday, Craig is approached for help on an unusual and horrific case.
At first acting only as an advisor, the detective and his Murder Squad end up split between Belfast, Dublin, and Italy, initially in pursuit of a solitary killer, but they encounter so much more.
With a dangerous raid by two of his DCIs, surveillance and arrests by others, and an overnight attack on a chalet near Switzerland with the Polizia, what begins with one murder turns out to be something much worse, uncovering a malevolent network that spans Europe and potentially much of the world.
THE Some people will even sell their souls.

The best of the Craig series so far.
Always pleased to have the team back together, I love their banter and ongoing camaraderie. Gives it the human touch necessary when reading about such a dark subject. Catriona King’s excellent writing unfurls the plot, revealing in vivid detail how evil criminals commit such heinous crimes. Thankfully Craig and the squad are more than capable of solving the case and bringing the network crashing down.
This is her darkest book yet but one of the best.

Very different from previous books but still outstanding! Topic is frightening and very unusual! Too many strange, depraved individuals in the world who are attracted by the occult, murder, torture and collection of trophies! It is very well written and our Murder Squad is up to the challenge! I l Iove this series and anticipate each new book! This one is quite an adventure !
