There is more intrigue in London
than 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey
Rivers could have ever imagined!

BOOK THREE
BACK PAGE:
The ancient Irish believed that people were affected by the
cycles of the moon and that the moon can be linked to
intuition and has real power over the deeds of men.
They called the moon in September their ‘Blood Moon.’ It was
the time when animals were butchered and prepared for the
long, dark winter ahead. Their daily prayer to the Celtic moon
goddess was to “leave us sound and whole.”
The month of the Blood Moon is also the time when 13-year-
old Irish dancer, Liffey Rivers, finds herself drawn back to
Ireland seeking answers on the Mountain of the Moon before
her own blood is spilled.

THE LIFFEY RIVERS IRISH DANCER MYSTERY SERIES
BACKPAGE:
There is more excitement at this feis than Liffey Rivers could have ever
imagined!
Will she finally win a first place in her soft shoe jig (her best dance) and get her
very own solo dress at last?
Or will she again get a "good, but not good enough" 2nd or 3rd place?
And who is that man Liffey sees standing by the elevators with the streak of
white hair running down the back of his head (like a skunk) and what is he up to?
Liffey has seen him before. He is carrying a shopping bag with a beautiful
curly-haired Irish dancer doll peeking out. Liffey can see that the doll is wearing
a dazzling diamond solo dress crown... but something is wrong...
BOOK FOUR
13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers is on safari in South Africa
with her eccentric Aunt Jean headed to an Irish dance
competition in Johannesburg.
After dodging a charging rhino, fending off a pride of lions and
re-routing an enraged mother elephant, Liffey's problems have
just begun.
When Liffey is confronted by a deadly Black Mamba snake in the
tall savanna grasses, she must rely on instinct and her Irish
dancing ability to survive.
At the Johannesburg Feis, Liffey's troubles continue and she
finds herself, along with a little boy in a wheelchair, again in the
shadow of the serpent.
