The Book of Killowen

The Book of Killowen

An ancient volume of philosophical heresy provides a motive for murder in this haunting, lyrical novel of forensics, archeology, and historyâ€”the fourth in an acclaimed suspense series.

What sort of book is worth a manâ€™s life? After a year away from working in the field, archaeologist Cormac Maguire and pathologist Nora Gavin are back in the bogs, investigating a ninth-century body found buried in the trunk of a car. They discover that the ancient corpse is not aloneâ€”pinned beneath it is the body of Benedict Kavanagh, missing for mere months and familiar to television viewers as a philosopher who enjoyed destroying his opponents in debate. Both men were viciously murdered, but centuries apartâ€”so how did they end up buried together in the bog?

While on the case, Cormac and Nora lodge at Killowen, a nearby artistsâ€™ colony, organic farm, and sanctuary for eccentric souls. Digging deeper into the older crime, they become entangled in high-stakes intrigue encompassing Kavanaghâ€™s death while surrounded by suspects in his ghastly murder. It seems that everyone at Killowen has some secret to protect.

Set in modern-day Ireland, The Book of Killowen reveals a new twist on the power of languageâ€”and on the eternal mysteries of good and evil.
