Summary
"When Mara, Brehon of the Burren, is summoned to a sandy beach on the western fringe of the kingdom of the Burren, she sees a sight that she has never witnessed before during her thirty years as law-enforcer: a dead body lying in a boat with no oars. Immediately her scholars jump to the conclusion that the person has been found guilty of kin-murder.

But Mara notices something odd about the body, something which arouses her suspicions. And something familiar about the boat--"--Front jacket flap.
