| Publisher Description: An exhausted Liffey Rivers is miles above the earth, en route to Amsterdam from South Africa. She is grateful to be alive after several almost deadly encounters with black mamba snakes and is very relieved that her harrowing experiences earlier that day at the Johannesburg Feis are finally over. However, she soon notices that there is a man on the plane walking slowly down the aisle, wearing the same exotic Italian leather shoes worn by a delivery man during her lunch break earlier that day. When Liffey eagerly opened the gift basket, a lethal black mamba snake reared up hissing, ready to attack. Although she had not been able to see the delivery man's face because of his over-sized sunglasses, she had noticed the unusual shoes he was wearing. Liffey is certain these designer shoes are not a coincidence and that the same would-be delivery assassin is now on this plane to finish what the snake in the basket had failed do. Paralyzed with fear, she tries unsuccessfully to rouse the sleeping detective her father had hired to protect her on her way back to the U.S. but soon realizes that the shoe man has struck again and that the detective is apparently drugged and unconscious Sick with fear, realizing that she is trapped miles above the earth, she must once again employ her Irish dance training to save her life and the life of her unconscious bodyguard. Months later, she takes an idyllic Alaskan cruise with her family and best friend from Ireland, Sinead McGowan. Their cruise itinerary includes, in addition to exciting ship to shore excursions, her first boyfriend and an Irish dance competition in Anchorage, Alaska. Liffey Rivers sets sail, never expecting that she is heading to a rendezvous with her worst enemy on the desolate shores of the Arctic Ocean. |
