(The author will be attending the discussion.) After a year away from working in the field, archaeologist Cormac Maguire and pathologist Nora Gavin are back in the bogs of Ireland, investigating a ninth-century body found buried in the trunk of a car. They discover that the ancient corpse is not alone—pinned beneath it is the body of Benedict Kavanagh, a philosopher missing for months. Both men were murdered, but centuries apart—so how did they end up buried together in the bog? Set in modern-day Ireland, The Book of Killowen delves deep into the mysteries of the past, revealing a new twist on the power of language—and on the eternal mysteries of good and evil.
