This latest tale of Nuala Anne McGrail begins with a foreboding dream of some terrible impending evil, but what is the origin of this nameless peril? From the Homeland Security goons determined to deport the Irish-born Nuala on the basis of nothing more than vague suspicions and accusations? Or from the tangled dealings of the Currans, a prosperous clan of Irish-American aristocrats? The true danger becomes shockingly apparent when a catastrophic car-bombing rocks the Chicago riverfront. Uncovering the twisted minds behind the bombing is not easy; Nuala and her husband, Dermot, soon find themselves enmeshed in a complicated tapestry of lies and secrets. Nuala's instincts also lead her to a forgotten manuscript revealing the treachery and deceit behind a tragic chapter in Irish history: the saga of bold Robert Emmet and the failed uprisings of 1798 and 1803. Between the past and the present, our heroine and her devoted spouse have more than enough mysteries to contend with, but the two of them are bound to make the truth just as clear as...Irish crystal.
