Danger comes to Cork in the seventh County Cork mystery from New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly, and itโs up to Maura Donovan to find a way to protect all sheโs worked for.
Pub owner Maura Donovan is settling into a charmed life in Irelandโuntil a mutilated body on her property ends her lucky streak.
Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmotherโs last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Corkโmuch less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivanโs, in the small village of Leap. After a year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivanโs 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, Mauraโs life seems rosier than everโbut even in Ireland, you canโt always trust your luck.
It begins with Mauraโs discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then, the Irish gardaรญ reveal that the victimโs 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 Sullivanโs 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 talkingโand now itโs 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 Connollyโs seventh County Cork mystery, THE LOST TRAVELLER, conspires to delight.
