Countless readers have been delighted by Father Andrew M. Greeley's best selling tales of Nuala Anne McGrail, a fey, Irish-speaking woman blessed with the gift of second sight, and her hapless husband and accomplice Dermot Michael Coyne. Damian Day O'Sullivan is a troubled young man who blames himself for a tragic vehicular homicide he may not have committed. Trouble is, Day's entire family seems to be conspiring to pin the crime on the poor lad, which only leads Nuala and Dermot to wonder who really ran over Rodney Keefe (three times!) in the parking lot of a ritzy Chicago country club. But the twisted saga of the O'Sullivans isn't the only mystery to be unraveled. Having stumbled onto the diary of Father Richard Lonigan, a nineteenth-century parish priest assigned to a remote village in old Donegal, Dermot and Nuala find themselves caught up in the closely guarded secrets and scandals of that desolate time and place, where simmering resentment against the ruling English sometimes erupts into violence and murder.
