Could the killer still be at large, still be living in the community? Was the murderer seeking justice, revenge, treasure, or something else? Why the triple death and who would know about such a thing, much less how to execute it in the ancient tradition. Invested in solving the current murders in reciprocation for the one that she could never solve, never bring to justice, Nora investigates, piecing together strange, half-overheard conversations, complicated relationships, eccentric local characters, and the relics of the not so distant past. When a new body, also bearing signs of a brutal triple death, is discovered in a sinkhole nearby, this one a contemporary, the mysteries of the past give way to a sudden splurge of eerie present killings and rumors of priceless hidden treasure. Trembling between her intense feelings for Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire and her promise to her dead sister, Nora’s emotional state colors the mire of peat and buried death around her with an invasive sense of sadness and continual failure. Nora Gavin, haunted American forensic pathologist, returns to Ireland to autopsy a newly unearthed Iron Age bog body, an ancient victim of a triple death rite. Interweaving modern forensic science with the mysticism of ancient pagan death rites, vengeful gods, and preserved secrets, lovingly hidden in a bog for thousands of years, Erin Hart’s keening Irish mystery series returns with another brutal set of slayings.
