Tara Ruane - sacked from her high-flying job in Boston and experiencing a nervous breakdown - returns home to rural Ireland. What she needs is time to heal but fate has something quite different in store. Researching her grandfather’s diaries, clues lead her to stumble upon a buried megalithic tomb and a mystery centred upon a strange triple-spiral symbol - the Triskell. The discovery of the tomb, and soon afterwards a stunning treasure of Celtic gold, catapults Tara and her family to the centre of international media attention. As the site is beset by archaeologists, Celtic revivalists, heritage activists and others, Robert Grainger, an artefact security expert, is called in to protect the dig and its treasure. Troubled by disturbing hallucinatory dreams, Tara discovers a coded seventeenth-century poem. With help from Malachy, an old friend with unexpected skills and knowledge of the Celts, Tara begins to untangle the puzzle. The Triskell is an ancient Celtic device, used to read the future, which was broken up and dispersed across Europe in 1650. The Triskell, it transpires, has been a battleground between forces of good and evil down the centuries and across Celtic Europe. As the implications of these extraordinary events start to sink in, a sudden and unexpected development overturns their calculations. For Tara and Robert solving the mystery is no longer their only priority – staying alive is! House of the Dead is the first instalment of the 3-part Triskell Story, a mystery action thriller with a supernatural twist.
