When Brannagh’s boyfriend, Nikki, disappears on a bird count in Northern Ontario, she reluctantly returns to her home town, Saint John, for a childhood reunion.  Back in grade school, the members of the all-girls club Tuatha-de-Dananns vowed to "protect one another's self-a-steam, forever and ever amen."  

As Brannagh struggles to solve the mystery behind Nikki’s vanishing, she begins to suspect that someone is taking the club's oath 'to protect one another' too far...even to the point of murder. 

"A taut psychological thriller with more than enough mystery and rich characterization to keep us mesmerized...."  -Reader's Respite

This book is kind of a "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" for grownups. -Night Owl Romance

"Sadly rich and beautiful writing."-Don Graves CANADIAN MYSTERIES The Hamilton Spectator.
