Jennifer Jackson – Literary Agent

As reported on Publishers Marketplace:

Patricia Rosemoor’s new book in the author’s popular McKenna Legacy series, to Denise Zaza at Harlequin Intrigue, for publication in April 2009, by Jennifer Jackson of the Donald Maass Literary Agency.

“Michael Egan comes to Ireland to investigate recent thefts and murders connected to a mythic Celtic jewelry collection. The woman who owned most of this cursed set is murdered, and her family accuses Irish jewelry designer Flanna McKenna of being involved in the theft and murder. Even though he doesn’t believe her claims that she’s psychic, Michael thinks she’s the best bet for finding the perpetrator. Patricia Rosemoor’s soothing pace fits in well with her lyrical Irish dialogue and fascinating myth-making. In Name Only? (4.5) is a first-rate, old-fashioned paranormal mystery with gothic overtones.”

In Name Only?, due out in March, is part of the McKenna Legacy series but each book can be read independently. Pre-order In Name Only? (Harlequin Intrigue Series) Now
