Solving a murder is never easy. When a case goes cold, the chances of success are slimmer than ever.
As a top murder detective and founder of the Garda Cold Case unit, Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan has seen it all - gangland feuding, killers on the run, amateur hitmen and drug-induced mania. Cracking the Case takes a deep dive into the fascinating world of serious crime investigations. Across more than 200 murders and innumerable serious crimes, and in the midst of tragedy and mayhem, Mangan has remained empathetic and focused on securing justice for the families of the victims. He reveals the shocking details of high-profile cases, including the mysterious death of Fr Niall Molloy, the infamous 'Scissor Sisters' dismemberment case, and the brutal assassination of mother-of-three Irene White. The most senior Garda ever to put pen to paper, Mangan sets out his gripping behind-the-scenes account of some of the most dramatic cases in the history of the Irish state.
