A New York Times Notable Book and thoroughly gripping historical mystery: On a ship packed with Irish immigrants, one passenger is a killer (People). In the bitter winter of 1847, leaving an Ireland torn by famine and injustice, the Star of the Sea sets sail for New York. On board are hundreds of refugees, some of them optimistic, many more of them desperate. Among them are a maid with a devastating secret, the bankrupt Lord Merridith accompanied by his wife and children-and a killer stalking the decks, hungry for the vengeance that will bring absolution. This journey will see many lives end, while others begin anew. Passionate loves are tenderly recalled, shirked responsibilities regretted too late, and profound relationships shockingly revealed. In this spellbinding tale of tragedy and mercy, love and healing, the farther the ship sails toward the Promised Land, the more her passengers seem moored to a past that will never let them go. O'Connor's luscious book brews the suspense of a thriller with the scope and passion of a Victorian novel-seasoned in authentic historical detail and served up in language that is equal parts lyrical and gritty. -Booklist Engrossing . . . will hold historical fiction fans rapt. -Publishers Weekly
