Darling Jim (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780805092080)

The widely acclaimed debut novel--about three sisters, three tales, and a very dark secret--that's a chilling bedtime story for adults.--People (three stars)

Fiona Walsh thought her family's secrets would follow her to her grave, but when her diary is found by a young postman, Niall, the truth about her untimely demise--and that of her sister and aunt--begins to see the light of day. It's the most tragic love story he's ever heard.

Niall soon becomes enveloped by the mystery surrounding Jim--an itinerant storyteller who traveled through Ireland enrapturing audiences and wooing women with his macabre mythic sagas--though a trail of murder followed him wherever he went. The Walsh sisters, fiercely loyal to each other, were not immune to darling Jim's powers of seduction, but found themselves in harm's way when they began to uncover his treacherous past. Niall must now continue his dangerous hunt for the truth--and for the vanished third sister--while there's still time.

And in the woods, the wolves from Jim's stories begin to gather.
