Lake of Sorrows

When workers at a vast peat extraction site in the bleak and tortured landscape of the Irish midlands uncover a long-buried badly damaged corpse they call in pathologist Nora Gavin. The body has apparently been strangled slashed and drowned - the ritual 'triple death' of Ireland's blood-soaked pagan past.

But moments after Nora arrives a much more recent victim is discovered. Like the ancient body this new corpse seems to have suffered the triple death . . .

Nora and her lover archaeologist Cormac Maguire must team up professionally once more. Soon they are enmeshed in a web of tangled desires and terrible secrets. The danger mounts fuelled by rumours of ancient gold illicit liaisons and long-delayed revenge.

Though they do not realise it Nora and Cormac have come far too close to the truth - placing them in ever-greater danger of becoming a ruthless killer's next victims.
