A brutal killing. A shattered team. A detective dragged back from the brink.
On the verge of retirement, DCI Brendan Moran is drawn into a chilling new case when an elderly piano teacher is found murdered in her home--posed, silenced, and surrounded by secrets.
With his team fractured and an ambitious deputy he doesn't trust, Moran must navigate an investigation that grows darker at every turn. When one of his own is pulled into the orbit of a notorious MI6 asset--a killer Moran once tried, and failed, to bring to justice--he's forced off the grid to confront a threat beyond the law.
To protect his team and settle unfinished business, Moran must risk everything. But some enemies don't forgive--and never forget.
In the Key of Death is the tenth novel in The Irish Detective: DCI Brendan Moran series--a gritty British detective mystery perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, and the Shetland TV series.
