Cora Harrison

Mara the Brehon investigates the death of a clan leader in this historical mystery set in sixteenth-century Ireland by the acclaimed author of Laws in Conflict.

In the western Irish kingdom of Burren, Mara is an investigating magistrate charged with upholding the ancient laws. When the leader of clan MacNamara dies under suspicious circumstances, she is called upon to determine truth from lies among conflicting reports.

Garrett MacNamara’s body is found on the road after a herd of cows has escaped. But what was assumed to be a simple, tragic accident turns complicated—and sinister—when the body disappears. Mara and her scholars must now investigate: was Slaney, Garrett’s wife, threatened by two new arrivals, or is she being blamed for her husband’s murder to clear the way for a new leader?

“Harrison continues her delightful Burren Mystery series with an all-historical new puzzler set in the sixteenth-century west Irish kingdom. ” —Library Journal

A Burren Mystery

Chain of Evidence

This “clever” sixteenth-century Irish mystery featuring Mara the Brehon offers “a tantalizing glimpse into the legal system of another time and place” (Publishers Weekly).

When Mara attends the Feast of the Holy Cross at Kilnaboy Church, it is just another duty in her busy life as Brehon of the Burren, responsible for upholding the kingdom’s ancient laws. But this special day has drawn the faithful of Ireland and pilgrims from across Europe, for Kilnaboy Church holds a prized relic—a piece of the true cross—inside its tower.

When the tower catches fire and the relic is destroyed, chaos breaks out, and Mara begins her investigation. But before she can round up the many suspects among the frantic crowd—including a follower of Martin Luther, who despises such relics as false idols—another crime is committed. A naked body is found dead, spread-eagled in the shape of a cross, in the graveyard behind the church. Sensing a connection between the crimes, it is Mara’s task, along with her law-school pupils, to find the guilty parties and uphold the power of the law.
