Description

Format: Hardcover, 272pp.ISBN: 0312288476 Publisher: St. Martin's Press Pub. Date: March 2002"It is mid-October and unexpectedly cold in Ballynagh, the small Irish village that Torrey Tunet, the young American translator and sometime amateur sleuth, calls home. She has just built a fire of peat and coal to warm her cottage when a window frame collapses, letting in drafts of icy air. Asking around for the services of a carpenter, she hires local teenager Dakin Cameron to do a few repairs." "Dakin is an unusually helpful and likeable young man with something on his mind. When he receives a threatening phone call at the cottage, Torrey resolves to try to help him. It seems that Dakin is the son of Natalie Sylvester Cameron, a beautiful heiress whose husband died tragically two years before. Dakin is distressed because someone is trying to blackmail Natalie - and even more distressed when the blackmail attempts lead to murder." At times like these, Torrey gets what her friend Winifred calls a "dragon-slaying look" in her eyes. Determined to uncover the truth no matter what the cost - including the ongoing enmity of the local police inspector - Torrey Tunet must call upon all her wits and courage to solve the latest Ballynagh mystery.
