FITZGERALD HALL, trilogy book one. The old English word for bed and grave is the same because it is the place where you lie. In the meadows of Fitzgerald Hall, one of the great houses of England, many bones of 7th Century Anglo Saxons are buried. One grave clings to a dark secret. Winter Solstice holds the key to unlock the mystery, but will the mayhem caused by a search reveal a secret best left undiscovered? Two American girls and two male British aristocrats embark on a feisty determined quest that fizzes along at a fast pace. The lines between past, present and future become blurred. FITZGERALD HALL is historical fiction, it is an intriguing story where the present meets the past.
