Benefit Sanction Murders: Book Four - A DS Rose Gallagher Novel

Someone is killing the people who let them die.

In Belfast, a benefits assessor is found with her eyes surgically removed. Two days later, a tribunal judge—known for rejecting every mobility appeal that crossed his desk—lies paralyzed beside an empty wheelchair, his spine severed with clinical precision.

DS Rose Gallagher senses what others miss. The killer's grief lingers at each scene like smoke—eighteen months old, sharp with purpose. Her abilities go far beyond police training, and they tell her the same thing the evidence does: each victim denied benefits claims that ended in death. Each killing mirrors the suffering they caused.

Counter-Terrorism assumes it's sectarian violence. But Rose knows better. This isn't political. This is personal. Someone is keeping a ledger of the dead, and they're settling accounts.

As the body count rises, Rose interviews grieving families who should be desperate for justice—but no one will talk. They speak of the same kind stranger who visited them in their darkest hours. The same soft-spoken advocate. The only one who cared.

And not one of them seems troubled that their tormentors are dying.

In a city where ancient powers walk unseen and Rose herself is something more than human, she must decide: hunt the killer, or let the ledger balance itself?

The Benefit Sanction Murders: A supernatural Belfast thriller where justice wears many faces—some of them monstrous.

Perfect for fans of the Dresden Files, Rivers of London, and Kate Daniels—where gritty police work meets dark urban fantasy.
