Historical Fiction. HTML:<b>A mystery in modern-day rural Ireland may have roots in World War II, in this thriller by a "fine dramatic writer and storyteller" (<i>Booklist</i>).</b><br /> <br /> The elderly German, Karl Uxkull, was either senile or desperate for attention. Why else would he concoct a tale of Nazi atrocity on the remote island of Delphi, off the coast of Donegal? And why <i>now</i>, sixty years after the event, just when Irish-American billionaire Shay Govern has tendered for a gold prospecting license in Lough Swilly?<br /> <br /> Journalist Tom Noone doesn't want to know. With his young daughter Emily to provide for, and a new ghostwriting commission for Shay Govern's biography, the timing is all wrong. Besides, can it be mere coincidence that Karl Uxkull's tale bears an uncanny resemblance to a thriller written by spy novelist Sebastian Devereaux, the reclusive English author who has spent the past fifty years holed up on Delphi?<br /> <br /> But when a body is discovered drowned, Tom and Emily find themselves running for their lives in pursuit of the truth that is their only hope of survival.<br /> <br /> "Burke has a real knack for dialogue and phrasing." —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br /> <br /> "Readers . . . will be rewarded with an unholy Chinese box of a thriller. Make that an Irish-German box." —<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>. Media Type: eBook.
