    It’s been six months since Fintan McHewell disappeared. Fintan’s son Mark and wife Bree are just learning to live without him when Mark discovers a clue to Fintan’s absence in, of all places, a peculiar story in a sci-fi comic. Following the clues in the comic, Mark and his friends Niamh and Ferdia uncover a cryptic wooden cube and a series of mysteries that suggest Fintan was leading a double life. A website run by the inscrutable Del Forgill leads them further into intrigue and as the deaths accumulate, so do the questions: What are the Tetroi? Why are mythological wooden flying machines stealing the GPS satellites? And what does the whole affair have to do with Simon Magus and the old disused lighthouse on Wicklow Head? Can a fourteen-year-old boy really expose a twelve thousand-year-old conspiracy and in doing so save his father … and this tír?

  3. Hazardous Unions: Two Tales of a Civil War Christmas by Alison Bruce and Kat Flannery

    Bruce-HU-400About Hazardous Unions: Two Tales of a Civil War Christmas by Alison Bruce and Kat Flannery:

    Twin sisters separated by war, bound by love…

    After the death of their father, twin sisters Maggie and Matty Becker are forced to take positions with officers’ families at a nearby fort. When the southern states secede, the twins are separated, and they find themselves on opposite sides of America’s bloodiest war.

    In the south, Maggie travels with the Hamiltons to Bellevue, a plantation in west Tennessee. When Major Hamilton is captured, it is up to Maggie to hold things together and deal with the Union cavalry troop that winters at Bellevue. Racism, politics and a matchmaking stepmother test Maggie’s resourcefulness as she fights for Bellevue, a wounded Confederate officer and the affections of the Union commander.

    In the north, Matty discovers an incriminating letter in General Worthington’s office, and soon she is on the run. With no one to turn to for help, she drugs the wealthy Colonel Cole Black and marries him, in hopes of getting the letter to his father, the governor of Michigan. But Cole is not happy about being married, and Matty’s life becomes all about survival.

    Two unforgettable stories of courage, strength and honor.
