| SPARKLING SOLO DRESS CROWN: There is more excitement at the Celtic Arch Feis in St. Louis than 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers could have ever imagined. Within a 24-hour time period, she manages to foil a sophisticated criminal plot, dance her soft shoe jig and even prevent a possible war! Determined to win a 1st place medal at this feis and earn her very own solo dress, Liffey notices a suspicious looking man with a white stripe running down the back of his dark black hair (like a skunk) as she power walks around the hotel lobby. She has seen this man before, and he, like herself, always seems to be alone at Irish dance competitions. This time, however, she observes that he is carrying a shopping bag with a beautiful porcelain Irish dancer doll peeking out. The doll is wearing a dazzling diamond solo dress crown. But something is WRONG.... Liffey follows the 'skunk man' on to a crowded elevator to get a better look at the doll, and in her pursuit for answers, she finds herself not only competing for the medal, but fighting for her own life. After a series of close calls and in a state of near collapse, Liffey Rivers unravels the mystery of the sparkling solo dress crown. |
| LIFFEY RIVERS and the MYSTERY of the WINKING JUDGE: There is more intrigue in London than 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers could have ever imagined! How will she tell the smug-looking security guard at the National Portrait Gallery that something is WRONG with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth I hanging in the Tudor Gallery? And how can she even pretend she is ready to dance next week at an Irish dance competition in County Sligo, Ireland? And WHY is the Irish Judge at the Prizewinner Jig stage winking at her? Liffey has seen those eyes before.... |
| ABOUT THE AUTHOR: County Sligo author, Brenna Briggs, came to Ireland in 2004 from Wisconsin and brought with her a peculiar perspective. Ms. Briggs admits that she is always looking for a “twist” or the unforeseen in everyday life. “It began when I was 8 years old,” she explains. “A girlfriend of mine told me about a book she had read that I might like to read too about a girl detective named Nancy Drew. I checked out The Clue in the Diary from my tiny school library and was never the same again. Suddenly life seemed to be full of undiscovered plots and mysterious secrets. It was difficult to sleep at nights as I would lie awake wondering what everybody was up to. Is the soft-spoken, polite feis judge really what he seems to be? Or, is he instead an international criminal on Interpol’s most wanted list, using the feiseanna circuit to smuggle art treasures and diamonds? Is the sweet little old lady in the library really a librarian? Or is she working as an undercover agent?” |
