The Truth Against the World

In the near future, as America breaks apart into factional violence, a young artist named Georgina O'Halloran creates an illustrated book of old Celtic tales in the style of the famous Book of Durrow. Titled The Truth Against the World, it's intended as a gift for her professor-who is also her lover. But the older man cruelly breaks things off, Georgie falls into a depressive tailspin, and the book becomes an international sensation-under the professor's name. Emerging from her troubles, Georgie dedicates herself to finding the plagiarist and confronting him-a task that will oblige a cross-country journey amid rising violence.She turns to her friend Shane for help. He's a charming eccentric-"Irish as wet grass," a whip-smart ex-soldier with a curiously encyclopedic memory, a beautiful singing voice, and a dark wit. But he's also a fiercely loyal friend with finely honed fighting skills. They'll prove crucial as the dangers mount-and the real forces behind the book's worldwide success reveal themselves.
