Danger comes to Cork in the seventh County Cork mystery from New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly, and it’ s up to Maura Donovan to find a way to protect all she’ s worked for. Pub owner Maura Donovan is settling into a charmed life in Ireland— until a mutilated body on her property ends her lucky streak. Boston expat Maura Donovan came to Ireland to honor her grandmother’ s last wish, but she never expected to stay in provincial County Cork— much less to inherit a house and a pub, Sullivan’ s, in the small village of Leap. After a year-long struggle to stay in the black, Sullivan’ s is finally thriving, and Maura has even brought back traditional Irish music to the pub. With a crop of new friends and a budding relationship with handsome Mick Nolan, Maura’ s life seems rosier than ever— but even in Ireland, you can’ t always trust your luck. It begins with Maura’ s discovery of a body in the ravine behind the pub. And then, the Irish gardaí reveal that the victim’ s face has been battered beyond recognition. Who is the faceless victim? Who wanted him dead? And why was his body dumped in the backyard of Sullivan’ s Pub? Even after the dead man is finally given a name, nobody admits to knowing him. In the tight-knit world of Leap, no one is talking— and now it’ s up to Maura to uncover the dark secrets that lurk beneath the seemingly quiet town. Laced with warm Irish charm, a delightful small-town setting, and a colorful cast of characters, New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly’ s seventh County Cork mystery, The Lost Traveller, conspires to delight.
