BLURB:
Dylan
Maguire returns to his native Ireland
with psychic spy Vicki Boyd. Their mission: to locate and extract a CIA Agent
who disappeared in Dublin
while on the trail of a known terrorist. But when Dylan receives word that his
grandmother is dying, he is plunged into a past he thought he’d left behind
forever. His mission and the dark secrets he’d sought to keep hidden begin to
merge into an underworld that could cost him his life. He must now confront his
past demons and the real reason he left Ireland —while Vicki harbors a
secret of her own.
Suspense
Magazine says, “p.m.terrell’s writing is powerfully written and masterfully
suspenseful; you have to hang on for the ride of your life.” Midwest Book
Review says the Black Swamp Mysteries series is “page-turning action,
unforgettable characters, breathtaking descriptions and unexpected plot
twists.” And syndicated reviewer Marcia Freespirit says the series is
“riveting, spell-binding, sexy and intense!”
Excerpt :
The bogs were no place to be
during the witching hour.
Dylan had grown up with stories of
the bogs at night. The ground percolated; it lived and it breathed. There had
been many a time when he was harvesting peat in broad daylight that he’d heard
a whisper at his ear or felt hot breath on his neck, only to find there was no
one near. Now as he rode his horse in silence, he felt that presence tenfold;
there were eyes watching them. The intermittent tuffs of heather swayed in the
growing storm and he found himself watching them with narrowed eyes, waiting
for the plants to morph into sinister creatures that claimed this land after
the sun went down.
He knew there was a simple reason
why animals were required in lieu of an all-terrain vehicle and he was glad Sam
had taken this unique land into consideration when planning the mission. He
could feel the hooves beneath him sinking into the spongy earth; a wheeled vehicle
wouldn’t have stood a chance, especially as they ventured from the area farmed
for its peat to one far less stable.
A mist began; a slow, fine spray
that he knew well. One moment the air was still and dry and the next, as though
they’d passed through a curtain, the air swirled around them, the moist haze
further inhibiting their ability to see. It was said many a man lost his
internal compass in the Irish mist; it taunted as it grew into monstrous
shapes, turning the landscape into something foreign and active.
