Bitter Fruit: 'One of the most astonishing debut novels I've read in a very long time' Mark Billingham

A killer with a gospel. A detective without faith. On Easter morning, a body is found in the ruins of a church; decapitated, naked, knelt as if in prayer. Detective Lewan Kane is deeply troubled by the harrowing scene: this ritualistic killer hasn't left a single trace. In a quiet corner of Dublin, Ella Lonan is wrestling with her sanity, haunted by disturbing visions - severed heads on an altar, a young woman drowned by a black ocean. When Kane appears in one such episode, Ella turns up at the station, desperate for answers. Can Ella's visions help Lewan catch a killer? Or will they open the door to something even darker than death?
