About this ebook
Mara the Brehon investigates the death of a clan leader in this historical mystery set in sixteenth-century Ireland by the acclaimed author of Laws in Conflict.
In the western Irish kingdom of Burren, Mara is an investigating magistrate charged with upholding the ancient laws. When the leader of clan MacNamara dies under suspicious circumstances, she is called upon to determine truth from lies among conflicting reports.
Garrett MacNamara’s body is found on the road after a herd of cows has escaped. But what was assumed to be a simple, tragic accident turns complicated—and sinister—when the body disappears. Mara and her scholars must now investigate: was Slaney, Garrett’s wife, threatened by two new arrivals, or is she being blamed for her husband’s murder to clear the way for a new leader?
“Harrison continues her delightful Burren Mystery series with an all-historical new puzzler set in the sixteenth-century west Irish kingdom.” —Library Journal
