Unfinished Revolution
"400 United Irishmen and fellow-rebels brought the spirit of Irish rebellion "down under" in the aftermath of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 - and changed Australia forever. At Castle Hill in 1804, this "army of shadows" carried on where they left off but during Bligh's overthrow in 1808, they stood back from a fight that was not theirs. The "political Irish" played a central role in the developing colony. Their professions, trades and skills made them useful as clerks, storekeepers and teachers, and fitted them to be overseers and constables, and helped bring self-sufficiency to the still-fragile colonial economy. They remained revolutionaries; only they negotiated change rather than raised warlike rebellion. Through their open defiance and quiet manipulation of authority, the harp "new strung" resonates to this day in the Australian ethos that United Irishmen helped to create." -- book cover.

Confessional Matters
Former classics professor Bertrand McAbee, the reticent P.I and former classics prof, cannot avoid violence and mayhem. His high-powered brother is asked by the highest echelons in the Vatican to pursue the truth concerning a lawsuit brought against a priest who is a personal friend of the Pope. It’s a charge of pedophilia. The priest, however, is considered by almost all who know him to be a man of extraordinary sanctity. Ostensibly at any rate, this should not be a case involving deadly violence. And yet it becomes so as McAbee probes into the priest’s past and violence once again erupts into his world.
