In Book #6 of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery Series, 14-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers sets out during a freak November 1st blizzard in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, to help a friend decipher a mysterious puzzle that may lead to an undiscovered gold mine. When a blast of frigid wind deposits a huge pile of snow in her path, Liffey uses her Irish dancing training to launch herself over it and discovers that High Street has two sides: a Gray Dog Deli side and a Red Rooster Cafe side. Same direction. Very different paths.The Mystery of the Pointing Dog is Wisconsin historical fiction for tweens set in 1842. Featuring an Irish immigrant family which has settled in Southwestern Wisconsin, it is also Liffey Rivers’ most challenging and dangerous mystery to date.

Brenna Briggs is the author of eight Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery books for tweens and one adult book: MAIDS: Mothers Addicted to Irish dancing. Her essays have been published in Irish American newspapers and periodicals as well as in Ireland and Canada. She published serialized Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery short stories in Irish Dancing and Culture Magazine for three years. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she was born into a third generation Irish American family where she thought that sugar cookies with green icing on Saint Patrick's Day was the best thing about being Irish. After attending St. Mary's College-Notre Dame and Indiana University, Brenna became an Equity actress, documentary film producer, political activist, legal assistant and eventually the author of THE LIFFEY RIVERS IRISH DANCER MYSTERIES. In 2004 she moved with her family to County Sligo, Ireland. Returning to Wisconsin in 2009, Brenna Briggs now resides in the heart of the Driftless Area, not far from the Mississippi River. The ghost story in The Mystery of the Pointing Dog is based on a true incident--the hanging of William Caffee, a young man who was hanged in 1842 at the bottom of High Street in Mineral Point. Since then he has reportedly been seen several times.
