Synopsis

Liffey Rivers' world is changed forever when she begins meditating daily on her yoga mat between the two old ginkgo trees in her backyard. Voices coming from underneath her, earth tremors, the discovery of an ancient Native American effigy, a mysterious Catholic nun in a white habit floating above her like wispy smoke from a chimney. Almost extinct box turtles are in her yard everyday and there is a mysterious air quality problem in Mineral Point with no apparent cause. When high school students are terrorized by what appears to be a vampire, waiting for their school bus early one morning, the Chief of Police becomes involved and discovers that a threatening poem, a box turtle and a warning of retribution written in Japanese, has been deposited in The Foundry Books' pagoda-like haiku box on the bookstore's front porch. Liffey Rivers soon realizes that she is facing an unimaginable crisis in what has, up until now, been a safe place to live and hide.

About this title

About the Author:

Brenna Briggs is the author of eight Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries and MAIDS: Mothers Addicted To Irish Dancing. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, into a third generation Irish American family, she thought that eating green-dyed bakery bread and sugar cookies with bright green icing on Saint Patrick's Day were the best things about being Irish. Briggs' essays and short stories have been featured in Hornpipe Magazine, The Irish American Post, Celtic Canada, The Sligo Quarterly Review, Irish Dancing and Culture Magazine and many other Irish American periodicals and newspapers. After returning in 2009 from a six year stay in County Sligo where she wrote the first three Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer mysteries, she lives in the "Driftless Area" of Wisconsin near the Mississippi River. Her books and magazine short stories and essays are part of the Dublin archives for traditional Irish music and dance (Taisce Cheol Duchais Eirreann) on Merrion Square. Brenna studied theatre and history at St. Mary's College-Notre Dame.
