The priest and the lawyer solve mysteries together but sometimes find themselves at cross-purposes, with secrets they cannot share: secrets of the confessional and matters covered by solicitor-client confidentiality. The books are notable for their wit and humor and their depiction of the darker side of human nature ? characteristics that are sometimes combined in the same person, be it a lawyer, a witness on the stand, or an Irish ballad singer who doubles as a guerrilla fighter in the Troubles in war-torn Belfast. In addition to their memorable characters, the books have been credited with a strong sense of place and culture, meticulous research, crisp and authentic dialogue, and intriguing plots. The novels are set in Nova Scotia, Ireland, England, Italy, New York, and Germany. The series begins with \u003ci\u003eSign of the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) and continues to the most recent installment, \u003ci\u003ePostmark Berlin\u003c\/i\u003e (2020).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"True to the Irish tradition of great storytelling, this is a mesmerizing tale full of twists that will keep readers riveted from the first page to the last.\" -- \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review, on \u003ci\u003eRuined Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThough the Heavens Fall\u003c\/i\u003e keeps us on our toes until the bitter end.
