Danger comes to Cork in the seventh County Cork mystery
from New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly, and
it’s up to Maura Donovan to find a way to protect all she’s
worked for.
Pub owner Maura Donovan is settling into a charmed life
in Ireland—until a mutilated body on her property ends her
lucky streak.
Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her
grandmother’s last wish, but she never expected to stay in
provincial County Cork—much less to inherit a house and a
pub, Sullivan’s, in the small village of Leap. After a
year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan’s is
finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back
traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new
friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan,
Maura’s life seems rosier than ever—but even in Ireland, you
can’t always trust your luck.
It begins with Maura’s discovery of a body in the ravine
behind the pub. And then, the Irish gardaí reveal that the
victim’s face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is
the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his
body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan’s Pub? Even after
the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to
knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is
talking—and now it’s up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets
that lurk beneath the seemingly quiet town.
Laced with warm Irish charm, a delightful small-town
setting, and a colorful cast of characters, New York Times
bestselling author Sheila Connolly’s seventh County Cork
mystery, THE LOST TRAVELLER, conspires to delight.
