A "fast-paced and entertaining" tale of a New York psychiatrist, an Irish terrorist, and a seductive banshee from the author of Horror Show ( Library Journal). Manhattan psychiatrist Jukes Wahler first spies her through a deli window: a stunning redheaded beauty who turns to look at him before she vanishes down the street. Then a patient tells him about a woman who's been stalking him, convinced that she's the banshee, the Irish angel of death. She's young, beautiful . . . and has red hair. It must be a coincidence, right? After all, the patient is dangerously delusional. But Wahler soon has other things to worry about. His sister, Cathy, and her abusive boyfriend are missing, and his only lead is Padraic O'Connor, an ex–IRA commando and the leader of one of Northern Ireland's most radical terrorist groups, who will offer his help—for a price. Filled with larger-than-life characters, including a jaded cop with no patience for the paranormal, a beautiful professor who specializes in Irish mythology, and a centuries-old protector of the innocent, Shade of Pale tells a fast-paced story of fate, vengeance, and love.
