Leah Howland is a survivor. And a deserter. After three numbing years, she has forsaken her husband and escaped to mythical Ireland where a stalker leaves her calling cards that are eerie and increasingly gruesome. Shadowed by the legend of the warrior hero Cúchulainn and preyed upon by her own escalating imagination, Leah finds her escape is turning into a virtual prison of chilling mind-games and cold-hearted crimes.
A SilentTattoo is based on old Irish myths, literature and legends. There’s more than a few places to explore in Dublin – not just the Trinity college where Leah is studying. You have to go to Marsh’s Library as it’s full of myths and magic tales here – Past a garden entryway, an early-1700s library with thousands of rare books on original oak shelves.
A stalker is following Leah and so she flees to Ireland’s dangerous Cliffs of Moher, seeking refuge among the local myths and folklore. She becomes intrigued with the story about an old Irish warrior …
“The sun is setting in a burnt orange sky; the cliffs are black silhouettes; the sea, liquid silver.”
The book has some amazing descriptions of the Irish countryside.
