    About this ebook

    A Scots-Irish Protestant recruits a gifted Franciscan priest to stage a mass liberation of earthbound spirits at a holiday event in Dublin's Temple Bar district. A Christmas ghost story.

    Featuring cameo appearances by Temperance crusader Father Mathew, feisty Saint Brigid of Kildare, and the charming 18th-century celebrity harper Turlough O'Carolan as the Christmas Spirits.

    The Father Declan Supernatural Mysteries are a series of standalone upbeat, redemptive and often humorous urban fantasy short stories set in Ireland.
