Synopsis

13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers is on safari in South Africa with her eccentric Aunt Jean, en route to an Irish dancing 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 dance training to survive. At the Johannesburg Feis, Liffey's troubles continue and she again finds herself, this time with a little boy in a wheelchair, in the shadow of the serpent.

About this title

About the Author

Brenna Briggs is the author of eight Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries and, for adults: MAIDS: Mothers Addicted to Irish Dancing. She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, into a third generation Irish American family. For many years she thought that eating green-dyed bakery bread and sugar cookies with green icing on Saint Patrick's Day were the best things about being Irish. Her essays and short stories have been featured in Hornpipe Magazine, The Irish American Post, Canada's Irish Connections, The Sligo Quarterly Review, Irish Dancing and Culture Magazine and many other Irish American periodicals and newspapers. After spending six years in County Sligo, Ireland, where she wrote her first three books and looked at what seemed like most of the 3,000 heritage castle fragments, tombs and other ancient monuments marked on detailed local maps, she reluctantly moved back to the USA and now writes in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin in tiny Lancaster. "There is not much to do here but write and read books from the excellent local library, so I have become much more productive. This is important because when I do get out and about to do book events, my readers have often asked me why it takes me so long to finish the next Liffey Rivers mystery. I am hoping to put an end to such probative questions and accelerate my output!"
