Book Description
Freedom comes with a price. It’s been over a year since Patrick O’Malley escaped the clutches of madman Loman O’Connor. But grisly dreams make it seem like yesterday. His nightmarish ordeal left him with a damaged body, severely weakened magic, and a shattered psyche. It also gifted him a burning sense of responsibility to hunt down and aid Loman's previous victims. If he can help them return to some semblance of normalcy and heal from their traumatic experiences, his own life might have meaning. Fionola Bohannon's brother is missing—again. The first time was when he fell into the clutches of a man hellbent on stealing other witches’ powers to fuel his own. This time feels eerily similar, and Fi seeks the one person who might possess the means to find Tadhg, surly, battle-worn Patrick O’Malley. Yet, as Patrick and Fi delve deeper into Tadhg’s whereabouts, a chilling mystery unfolds. The very people he sought to rescue have begun to disappear inexplicably, and only by returning to where it all started will they find the key to free everyone, themselves included. *Not recommended for anyone under 18 due to content and language.

On a remote island off the coast of Ireland, an unpiloted boat drifts ashore, watched by a man to whom the dead are something to be feared… In a small stone chapel that stands hunkered against the vicious island winds, a woman whispers a frantic prayer to the gathering dark as something pale and dreadful scratches at the window. A young girl races to the shore to meet her lover and finds something monstrous instead… And in a confessional, a dead man waits to tell his sins… A gunshot in a church in Los Angeles leads Tim Quinn halfway around the world and into a nightmare, for on Blackrock Island, he will find love, murder and madness, and discover an earth-shattering truth about the Curtain, and those who hide behind it.

Dark Clouds on the Mountain

Languages : en
Pages : 288

Book Description
Set in wintry Tasmania in the early 1990s, with flashbacks to post-war Hobart and Europe during World War II, this story deals with dark secrets, crime and Nazi plots, interwoven with familiar domestic tensions of family life and marriage. Tully creates a fictional world strongly embedded in authentic details of real locations and well-conceived characters. The earthy, passionate main protagonist, Jack Martin, is richly drawn: 'A typical copper - detective anyway - stressed out most of the time, running on adrenaline, nicotine and coffee. Booze too, but not as much as some of his mates. Running to flab from a diet of meat pipes and sauce, chips and the deep-fried dog's turds they called chicken rolls, gobbled down on the run between cases, ingesting cumulatively lethal doses of salt, sugar and saturated fats.' In this elaborate web of intrigue the ground shifts, the past intrudes and time and place are vividly realised. Brooding violence, tangled mysteries... a gripping read.

With nothing better to do, Jesse accepts a request to go to Ireland to help a relative find his missing daughter.

Once in Ireland, it’s clear to Jesse that the missing woman has met with foul play. In the course of her investigation she goes to greater and greater lengths to get to the truth, causing her to antagonize Ireland’s most dangerous drug kingpin, not to mention the IRA and the local gardai. Aided by her near-photographic memory and dogged perseverance, Jesse is close to uncovering the truth, even as other people start to turn up dead. But she’s warned away from the investigation, and when she doesn’t back off, she’s threatened, attacked, and kidnapped. And when she is accused of murder, Jesse must use every ounce of wit and brainpower she has (left) to find a killer and not end up six feet under.
