An unfairly harsh judge meets a gruesome end in the latest intriguing
Burren mystery.
It was a macabre ending for an unjust judge: his throat slit by a sharp
knife; his body stuffed into a lobster pot and left beneath a powerful
jet of water shooting up through the cliffs from the turbulent Atlantic.
When Mara, Brehon of the nearby kingdom of the Burren, comes to
investigate, she knows that her first suspects have to be the five young
men who had received such savage sentences for minor crimes. But there
are others in the frame: the nephew of the former Brehon, a man with the
power of the Tudor court behind him. The child bride who hated her
husband. The ill-treated apprentice.
And who was it who was seen on that moonlit night by the confused and
elderly Fergus Mac Clancy?
