![]() ![]() ![]() Two years earlier, Mina Osborne, the local landowner's Indian-born wife, went for a walk with her young son and never returned. And the red-haired girl is not the only enigma in this remote corner of Galway. Still, her tale may have shocking ties to the present, and Cormac and Nora must use cutting-edge techniques to preserve ancient evidence. The red-haired girl is clearly a case for the archaeologists, not the police. Who is she? When was she killed? The extraordinary find leads to even more disturbing puzzles. ![]() Peat bogs prevent decay, so the decapitated young woman could have been buried for two decades, two centuries, or even much longer. When farmers cutting turf in a peat bog make a grisly discovery - the perfectly preserved severed head of a young woman with long red hair - Irish archaeologist Cormac Maguire and American pathologist Nora Gavin team up in a case that will open old wounds. Introducing Erin Hart, who brings the beauty, poignancy, mystery, and romance of the Irish countryside to her richly nuanced first novel. A dazzling debut - already an international publishing sensation - combining forensics, history, archaeology, and suspense. ![]()
