Title: Business of Blood
Author: Kerrigan Byrne
Genre: Historical Mystery
Release Date: October 20, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Business of Blood, an all-new intriguing historical mystery from USA Today bestselling author Kerrigan Byrne, is available now!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London, 1890. Blood and death are Fiona Mahoney\u2019s trade, and business, as they say, is booming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dying is the only thing people do with any regularity, and Fiona makes her indecorous living cleaning up after the corpses are carted away. Her childhood best friend, Mary, was the last known victim of Jack the Ripper. It\u2019s been two years since Fiona scrubbed Mary\u2019s blood from the floorboards, and London is no longer buzzing about the Ripper, but Fiona hasn\u2019t forgotten. She hasn\u2019t stopped searching for Jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she\u2019s called to a murder in the middle of the night, Fiona finds a victim mutilated in an eerily similar fashion to those of the Ripper, and only a few doors down from Mary\u2019s old home. The relentless and irritatingly handsome Inspector Grayson Croft warns her away from the case. She might have listened, if she hadn\u2019t found a clue in the blood. A clue that will lead her down a path from which there is no return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a killer cuts a devastating swath through London, a letter written in blood arrives at her door, and it is only then that Fiona realizes just how perilous her endeavor is. For she has drawn the attention of an obsessive evil, and is no longer the hunter, but the prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiona Mahoney is in the business of blood. But she\u2019s not the only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With intriguing twists, blood-chilling discoveries, and dazzling prose, USA Today Bestselling author Kerrigan Byrne shows that a woman\u2019s work is never done, even when is sleuthing out a serial killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Business of Blood Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aidan stood behind me for a moment, motionless and silent. I could hear every word ever spoken and unspoken between us spilling onto the ground at my back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understand what the years have done to you, Fiona. I know all the reasons you do what you do.\u201d The pity in his voice summoned a scream from deep, deep in my soul, and I swallowed three times to keep it from escaping. \u201cI appreciate that you have to be cold sometimes. But have a care this profession of yours doesn\u2019t make you heartless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struck by an idea, I frantically searched until I found Frank Sawyer\u2019s heart in the center of the basin. An unceasingly strong muscle upon which one\u2019s entire existence depended. I counted four chambers. Four valves. I stared hard, unblinking in the wan light until Aidan\u2019s retreating footsteps plodded away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d never found Mary Kelly\u2019s heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single part of her had been catalogued in all its exposed and grotesque exactitude. But not her heart. The Ripper had taken that, along with her life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I searched for the palpitations to prove Aidan wrong and found them, faint and fluttering, against my rib cage.  I still had a heart, even though he owned pieces of it. And yet, I\u2019d stood over too many corpses of those I loved, each time expecting my bleeding heart to just\u2026stop. It should, I think. When a heart was broken as many times as mine, it shouldn\u2019t work anymore. But somehow, it still did. It kept going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so long as it beat in its chamber, I\u2019d search for the Ripper.

About Kerrigan Byrne:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerrigan has done many things to pay the bills, from law enforcement to belly dance instructor.

She lives in a little Victorian coast town on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State with her wonderful husband. When she\u2019s not writing you can find her sailing, beach combing, kayaking, visiting wineries, breweries, and restaurants with friends, and hiking\u2026okay\u2026wandering aimlessly clenching bear spray in the mountains.
