This exciting new installment in the County Cork Mystery series has
"plenty for cozy lovers to enjoy" and drips with the charm--and
menace--of its atmospheric Irish setting (New York Journal of Books)
Some secrets are too big to stay buried...
A few months ago, Boston expat Maura Donovan was rekindled with her
mother after more than twenty years of absence. Since then, Maura has
been getting accustomed to Irish living, complete with an inherited
house and a pub named Sullivan's. But now, her mother has returned--and
she's brought Maura's half-sister in tow. To make matters more
confusing, a handful of Cork University students are knocking on Maura's
door asking about a mystical fairy fort that happens to be located on
Maura's piece of land.
The lore indicates that messing with the fort can cause bad luck, and
most everyone is telling Maura not to get too involved for fear of its
powers, but Maura is curious about her own land, and she definitely
doesn't buy into the superstition. Then one of the students disappears
after a day of scoping out the fort on Maura's property.
Maura treads carefully, asking the folks around town who might have an
idea, but no one wants anything to do with these forts. She has to take
matters into her own hand--it's her land, after all. But when she
uncovers a decades-old corpse buried in the center of the fort, nothing
is for certain.
