Author Talk: Dervla McTiernan with The Unquiet Grave

Waverley Library with Gertude and Alice Bookshop is proud to host one of Australia's bestselling crime Authors Dervla McTiernan, with her latest book The Unquiet Grave.

Irish-born Australian writer Dervla McTiernan has cemented her place as one of Australia’s most outstanding and bestselling crime writers, selling over one million copies of her books around the world. She is the critically acclaimed and award-winning author of six novels, including the Cormac Reilly series and two number one bestselling standalone thrillers, The Murder Rule and What Happened to Nina?, both New York Times ‘Best Thrillers of the Year’ and both currently in development for screen adaptation.

Unquiet Grave heralds McTiernan’s much-anticipated return to the Cormac Reilly series. Cormac is investigating a mysterious murder in the boglands of Galway. Progress on the case is frustratingly slow and Cormac struggles to keep his mind on the job, particularly when his ex-girlfriend Emma Sweeney asks for his help to find her new husband who has gone missing in suspicious circumstances in Paris. In Galway, Cormac is sure that he has found the killer and is within hours of arrest when another mutilated body is found on the other side of the country. Two days later, a third body is found. Is there a serial killer at work in Ireland?
