 Treachery
at Midnight
And
I took his body in my arms, and I carried him up to the top of
Mount Callan.
And
I laid him in the shallow grave that I had hollowed out of the
stony soil.
And
then I shovelled the earth over him and hid him forever. I
carried over a heavy flagstone and placed it on the mound. And
with my knife I carved these words. 'Here lies Conan, the
fierce and turbulent.'
 Who
was Conan? Why was he called 'fierce and turbulent'? How did
he die? Who buried him?
In the Eighth Century turmoil of
warring tribes, love, jealousy, blackmail and revenge, Conan's
story unfolds.
He entangles his foster brother,
Columba, and the beautiful Sorcha in a terrifying adventure that
will change all their lives forever.

 Murder
Strikes Again
The body arranged upon the altar table was dead; there
was no doubt about that.
The dead man was Cetterick the priest; there was no
doubt about that either.
But who had killed him?
In
fifth century Ireland, Christianity was new and strange, and
Cetterick, the priest, had been cruel and arrogant and had made
many enemies.
 But
which one of those enemies hated him enough to kill him?
Was
it the unfortunate slave boy?
The
jealous druid?
The
goldsmith in fear for his life?
The
wife whom Cetterick had abandoned?
The
farmer cheated of his land?
And
what about the beautiful Mara? What was she doing outside the
chapel?
Once again murder strikes at
Drumshee, and once again Ita and her fellow students at Drumshee
law school set out to solve the mystery.
