A KILLER WITH A GOSPEL.

On Easter morning, a body is found in the ruins of a church; decapitated, naked, knelt as if in prayer.

A DETECTIVE WITHOUT FAITH.

Detective Lewan Kane is deeply troubled by the harrowing scene: this ritualistic killer hasn't left a single trace.

A MYSTERY LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

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 his office, desperate for answers.

Can Ella's visions help Lewan catch a killer? Or will they open the door to something even darker than death?

'Chilling, suspenseful but also deeply moving. Bitter Fruit is one of the most astonishing debut novels I've read in a very long time'
Mark Billingham, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author

'Bitter Fruit ticks all the right boxes for lovers of quality crime fiction: the prose, the characters and last but not least the gruesome murder case at hand that leaves nothing to be desired'
Yrsa Sigurdardottir, international #1 bestselling author

'I devoured Bitter Fruit! Haunting and mystical, yet also hard-hitting and brutal with a terrific cast of characters. Echoes of James Lee Burke and John Connolly which is remarkable for a debut'
Trevor Wood, bestselling author of The Man on the Street

'An atmospheric, multi-layered, twist-filled mystery led by two compelling protagonists, Bitter Fruit is a strikingly ambitious debut novel'
Catherine Kirwan, Irish Times bestselling author

'Both brutal and beautiful, with lush prose that delves deep into the country's wilderness. Tempest Black conjures an eldritch Ireland that is uniquely her own. Mark my words, Black is more than a writer to watch - she's one to follow'
Hannah Morrissey, USA Today bestselling author
