Somebody else remember s, though - or why is Dermot set upon by thugs? land. Dermot shares his sleuthing with Nuala McGrail, a ravishing Trinity C ollege student, singer and actress whom he hires to translate the Irish dia ries his grandmother kept during the Troubles of 1919-1922. A typically hot -blooded Greeley hero, Dermot waxes ecstatic about Nuala's physique even wh ile struggling to control his lust, which is never satisfied here-though pr omised sequels to this entertaining novel, including Irish Lace and Irish L inen, should give Dermot and Nuala further chances at romance, as well as a t mystery.
