Mara, Brehon of the Burren, must battle superstitious
beliefs and fears as she sets out to solve a brutal murder.
When a woman’s body is discovered, strangled and bound with
rope to the stone torso of Fár Breige, the ancient stone god
which stands sentinel above the haunted caves and ancient
fortifications of the Atlantic cliffs, the locals believe it
was the god who killed her.
In life, Clodagh O’Lochlainn had been a disgrace to her
clan, tormenting her former priestly lover, jeering at her
husband, robbing her relatives: but could she really have
been slaughtered by a vengeful god, as the local population
believes? Abandoning preparations for the celebration of her
fiftieth birthday, Mara, Brehon of the Burren, with the
assistance of Fachtnan and her scholars, takes up the task
of solving the murder. Ignoring the ancient legends, she
concentrates instead on bringing a mortal killer to justice.
But it’s only when Fachtnan’s small daughter is lost in the
labyrinth of passages among the caves that the horrifying
truth begins to emerge.
