Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The widow of a reputed mobster is much more than a legal client needing a new will. It develops that she has effectively hidden a famous occupation with the use of a pseudonym. And, the lawyer she engages has never before practiced law, had any clients nor is he aware of her other life. The setting for this mystery is a remote island in the most eastern stretches of Long Island Sound, unlike any of the other small islands that dot the seas off the eastern end of Long Island's north fork. On this isle resides a woman shepherd who tends a flock of sheep for the widow. She, however, also has another life; being, in fact, an artist of repute. These are only a few of the anomalies that figure prominently in the fast paced thriller, filled with many interesting characters, a number of sub plots and surprising developments that should keep the reader riveted to its pages from beginning to end.

Comings and Goings

By: George L. Proferes

A transplanted American, Declan Rowe, who arrives in Carack having inherited his uncle's cottage and farmland, is only one of several recent arrivals to this rural hamlet on the Dingle Peninsula. A young couple, Garret and Alice Lowry, from Dublin, who have purchased the long vacant Moony Apothecary building, are transforming it into the hamlet's second pub and restaurant to the consternation of Sean O'Malley, the owner of O'Malley's Pub. Also arriving is the new doctor, Philip Warren, who sadly is replacing the community's beloved doctor, Alice Henry, who has taken an indefinite leave from her practice to explore another practice in Cork city. A number of amazing things are also happening, including the soon to open "Inn at Moore's Point", a restaurant and tourist development that will be hiring only residents of the hamlet and surrounding area. The recent discovery of zinc and lead deposits on farmland in and around Carack area has attracted the interest of a large mining conglomerate from Europe which is discussing land purchases from several of the farmers. Amid all of this transitional excitement, and other developments, are the everyday travails of the inhabitants, which will keep the reader's interest throughout the tale.

Father O'Reilly, young pastor of Saint Agnes is suddenly called back from his leave of absence when his replacement is hospitalized to find himself thrust into the midst of the happenings in his small parish.

Notes on a Cellar-Book

By: George Saintsbury

Since its first publication in 1920, George Saintsbury's classic Notes on a Cellar-Book has remained one of the greatest tributes to drink and drinking in the literature of wine. A collection of tasting notes, menus, and robust opinions, the work is filled with anecdotes and recollections of wines and spirits consumed—from the heights of Romanée-Conti to the simple pleasures of beer, flip, and mum. Thomas Pinney brings this unique work alive for contemporary audiences by providing the keys to a full understanding of Notes on a Cellar-Book in a new edition that includes explanatory endnotes, an essay on the book's legacy, and additional articles on wine by Saintsbury.

Rory's Will

By: George Proferes

The members of a poor rural church on the Dingle Peninsula in a remote corner of southwest Ireland are stunned to learn that their tiny parish has been bequeathed Moore's Point, the historic estate of a wealthy, eccentric land owner, only to discover that there is an intriguing specification to the will that has the potential to pit the local church and its pastor against his bishop and the diocese in which the church exists. As an assessment of the estate's manorial great house and its surrounding land holdings are beginning, a series of surprising incidents, personal involvements, interesting local characters, and a few mysterious happenings begin to occur, many of these serving to further complicate the efforts of the young pastor, his pastoral council and the parish barrister to resolve the growing conflict with the diocese.
