No Job For A Woman
Ireland’s first ever female private investigator lifts the lid on the secret life of the nation. Sandra Mara solved her first case at the tender age of nine. That gave her a taste for intrigue, and she went on to become one of the top private investigators in the country, even winning International Investigator of the Year at the World Association of Detectives. In No Job for a Woman, for the first time she opens her case file to reveal some of the most enthralling and outrageous cases she has worked on throughout her career. Stories included are: Patricia the Stripper, the Man United footballer and the IRA; the Thai Hooker and the Irish Diplomat; the Case of the Blackmail Cops; the Antwerp Diamonds and the Beit Robbers; the Clairvoyant who Never Saw it Coming; and Has Anybody Seen our Jumbo Jet? As well as these stories, Sandra provides a fascinating insight into the secretive undercover world of the private investigator – a world of bugging, surveillance, cold nights and very real danger.
The Fall of the Celtic Tiger
Examines how the Celtic Tiger, an economy that was hailed as one of the most successful in history, fell into a macroeconomic abyss necessitating an unheard of bail-out.

Jack Lynch, A Biography
Jack Lynch is one of the most important and perhaps most underrated Irish political leaders of the twentieth century. A sportsman who won six All-Ireland medals in a row with Cork, he was also a civil servant and a barrister before being elected to Dáil Éireann in 1948. During his thirty-one years as a parliamentarian, he held the ministries of Education, Industry and Commerce, and Finance before succeeding Seán Lemass as Taoiseach in 1966. Lynch held office during the critical years of the late 1960s and early 1970s when Northern Ireland disintegrated and civil unrest swept through Belfast, Derry and other towns. This precipitated one of the worst crises in the history of the Irish state. Jack Lynch upheld the parliamentary democratic tradition at great personal and political cost, even to the point of fracturing the unity of his government and his party. If you want to know what happened during those terrible years, read this book.
