The Three Stories For Vicky Fitzgerald
A treacherous storm. A mysterious stranger. Three stories that could save a life.
When Sergeant Vicky Fitzgerald finds a naked and disoriented man in the middle of the street in Knockfarraig, right before the Samhain festival, she already has enough to deal with.
As the town prepares for the celebration, the weather turns ominous, and so does the man’s warning. He insists he has a story she needs to hear, one tied to her own buried past.
The man won’t say who he is, yet he knows her name.
Vicky is certain she has never seen him before.
But time is running out, and Vicky must choose: ignore the stranger’s tale or trust him, even as the world around her begins to unravel.
Haunted by the memory of a life-altering loss, Vicky finds herself drawn back into caring about the lives of people she has kept at a distance, and a few she never expected to care for at all.
With lives at risk, long-lost truths resurfacing, and personal ghosts demanding to be faced, Vicky will have to rely on others in ways she never has before. But Samhain is a magical time, and by the end of it, Vicky’s life will never be the same.
Perfect for fans of heartfelt, emotionally layered fiction, this is a deeply moving novel about what ties us to the past and learning to trust again, even when the storm has left you shattered.
