Grand and sweeping in its narrative, The Butterfly Legacy is a richly rendered portrait of a family's six (6) generations and the ghosts that haunt them. Against the backdrop of the 19th century ะฒะัGreat Irish Famineะฒะั and the ะฒะัIrish Troublesะฒะั of the 1970s, the novel tells the story, often with heart-breaking honesty, of a simple Irish family's ultimate triumph over adversity, treachery, separation and death. From teenage Nelly's near fatal voyage to America in a ะฒะัcoffin shipะฒะั to the lies and deceit that tear her family apart, you'll be drawn into their lives, sharing the pain and joy of difficult lives fully lived. Two of Nelly's family secrets involve ritualistic murders, one in the 19th century and another exactly 100 years later when a British consul's brutalized body is discovered on the grounds of a castle in Haverhill, an old shoe factory town north of Boston. The only clue to the killer and his bizarre crime is a handwritten note bearing the name of Boston Police Detective Raleigh Buchanan. As he is drawn ever deeper into his investigation, Buchanan discovers links to his own past, including an old riddle about twins and a butterfly, and a family saga that spans nearly 150 years and two continents.
