About the book
Following the success of The Mountains Wild, Detective Maggie D'arcy is faced with another complex case that connects Long Island and Ireland in A Distant Grave.
Still recovering from the events of the previous fall, Long Island homicide detective Maggie D'arcy and her daughter Lilly are drawn into a new mysterious case. The body of an unknown Irish national is discovered in an affluent beach community on Long Island, with only the scars on his back as clues. Once again, Maggie joins forces with Garda detectives in Ireland to uncover the identity of the man and the reason for his presence in Long Island.
The investigation leads Maggie to a tranquil village in rural County Clare, teeming with secrets, and exposes her to the world of humanitarian aid workers across the globe. As she delves deeper into the intricacies of the murder, she finds herself back in her hometown and in the crosshairs of a dangerous and relentless killer who will stop at nothing to bury the truth forever.
With her evocative writing style, well-developed characters, and immersive settings that captivated readers in The Mountains Wild, Sarah Stewart Taylor crafts another captivating mystery exploring themes of family, survival, and the concept of home.
