Mac Ireland: The Cause Endures Book 3

Patrick Mac Ireland—Irish-Americans’ favorite modern hero—is back with a vengeance, determined that the Cause endures. That Cause, in a nutshell, is: Ireland, too, has the right to be One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Book One—the first in the series (2013)—explained how Mac Ireland as a young idealistic Irish patriot set out in the 1970s to drive England out of Ireland but quickly realized he had to first drive British agents out of the IRA. Book 2—the second in the series (2014)—picked up where Book One ended in 1980. Mac Ireland continues to hunt down British agents inside the IRA with the help of a Northern Ireland Protestant detective, whose family members were killed by British agents, and a Southern Irish detective, who is outraged by how the Irish Government not only turned its back on Catholics in The North, but also how the Irish Government colluded with the British Government. Book 3—the third in the series (2015)—begins in 1981, the year of the Irish Hunger Strike. Mac Ireland struggles to survive the all-out British Government attempts to assassinate him. But also, because Mac Ireland has secured confidential information on the shooting of Pope John Paul II, the KGB tries to assassinate Mac Ireland in St. Peter’s, Rome. In an extraordinary development, Mac Ireland has a personal and private meeting with the Pope in the Vatican.
