Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Readers who can endure the juvenile sex talk at the start of Greeley's 10th Nuala Anne McGrail novel (after 2006's Irish Crystal) will be rewarded with a mildly entertaining mystery. When Nuala Anne, singer and sometime psychic, learns that Desmond Doolin, a peacenik young man from her Chicago neighborhood, has gone missing in the Middle East, she's convinced that he's still alive. But if U.S. government officials know Desmond's whereabouts, they're not talking, and finding him requires Nuala Anne and her adoring, dilettantish husband, Dermot Coyne, to research his path through the Middle East as well as pin down his relationship with the Catholic Church. Nuala Anne's search for Desmond is interwoven with the fictional memoir of an Irish diplomat in Nazi Germany, which Nuala Anne and Dermot just happen to be reading.

The perils of wartime add special urgency to latest mysteries being investigated by Nuala Anne McGrail and her adoring husband, Dermot Coyne. More than a little fey, Nuala has a well-deserved reputation for getting to the bottom of even the most tangled intrigues, even when they may be taking place on the other side of the world. Desmond Doolin, an idealistic young man from their West Side Chicago neighborhood, has gone missing in Iraq. Having flown off to the Middle East in the name of peace, he hasn't been heard of since. The U.S. government denies any knowledge of his whereabouts, and his grieving family has all but written him off as dead, but Nuala is convinced that there's more to the story and herself won't stop asking questions until she finds out what has really become of Desmond, one way or another. Meanwhile, a parallel investigation uncovers the story of another young man abroad in dangerous times. Poking around in the past, Dermot an
The predators seem to come out on top in the end and the lead predator does something quite amazing. I DO NOT recommend this story in this version for young children, although I give it 3 stars for the beautiful illustrations. Bianca D'Arc has been creating a complex world filled with magical beings and ordinary folks; palaces, temples and inns. There is a quality to the writing that is so subtle at times I forgot I was reading a story and believed I was reading a diary. I was not at all disappointed. I purchased this book for less than $20.00 which is extremely inexpensive and affordable compared to other text books. Robert Bruce's 'Practical Psychic Self-Defense' is much more useful.. Only here can the relationship between imagination and revelation be rightly understood.. I don't believe for a moment that Joseph of Arimathea or Jesus Christ ever set foot in Britain, but there is no denying the charm of the legends surrounding the quaint town of Glastonbury. A hilarious collection of
