Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 26, 1889, four thousand mourners proceeded down Chicago's Michigan Avenue, followed by a crowd forty thousand strong, in a howl of protest at what commentators called one of the ghastliest and most curious crimes in civilized history. The dead man, Dr. P. H. Cronin, was a respected Irish physician, but his brutal murder uncovered a web of intrigue, secrecy, and corruption that stretched across the United States and far beyond. O'Brien tells the story of Cronin's murder from the police investigation to the trial-- and the story of a booming immigrant population clamoring for power at a time of unprecedented change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Patrick is known worldwide as the patron saint of Ireland and is honored on the 17th of March every year as part of the St. Patrick's Day celebration. While it is widely celebrated as a cultural holiday, many people do not know much about the man behind the celebrations. Saint Patrick was born in Britain to a wealthy family in the 4th century. His life changed after he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. After six years of captivity, Saint Patrick escaped and eventually made his way back to Britain where he became a Christian missionary. Saint Patrick then returned to Ireland as a missionary, where he traveled the country and converted many people, built churches, and established monasteries. His approach was not confrontational but rather focused on compassion and love for the people he served. Over the centuries, his stories of miracles and conversions have become part of Irish folklore, and his influence on Irish culture has secured his place in history as a beloved symbol of the country. To this day, many people honor Saint Patrick as the patron saint of Ireland, and the feast day celebrating his life and legacy is one of the most widely celebrated holidays across the world. Overall, Saint Patrick's religious knowledge and love for the people of Ireland made an enormous impact on the country. The teachings of Saint Patrick, along with a mixture of Celtic and Roman Catholic traditions, created a unique meld of Irish culture, which has had a far-reaching effect on people's way of life. This influence is reflected in the plethora of Irish festivals, music, and sports, which have been celebrated all over the world in different countries with various people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “charming” fantasy by the author of the Deryni novels, a gargoyle guardian and a Knight of Malta defend a Dublin cathedral and battle a demon (Booklist, starred review). The gargoyles of Dublin, Ireland, have a sacred duty to perform. Formerly God’s avenging angels, for centuries they have been entrusted with guarding the churches and cathedrals of the Irish capital while avoiding all contact with human beings. But once a month these loyal stone sentries must leave their posts to attend a conclave of their kind, and it is during one such absence that a sacrilege occurs. The guardian of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the gargoyle Padraig, called “Paddy,” has returned to find violence and vandalism committed at his church and two silver artifacts stolen. Taking to Dublin’s night streets in search of a culprit, Paddy inadvertently reveals himself to an aged chauffeur in an ancient Rolls Royce, thereby dooming Francis Templeton to an impending premature death. But the grim reaper will have to wait, because old man Templeton is a member of the Knights of Malta, a secret order of defenders of the faith dating back to the Crusades, and as such is an ideal partner for the onetime angel in his quest for justice and revenge. Their hunt is about to take some sinister turns, however, leading the gargoyle and the knight to Clontarf Castle, where a major demon, an emissary of Satan, is preparing to make his reentrance into the world. An acclaimed and much beloved fantasist best known for her popular Adept and Knights Templar series and her chronicles of the magical Deryni, Katherine Kurtz now displays another side of her extraordinary talent and succeeds magnificently. St. Patrick’s Gargoyle is a delightful feast of the imagination, rich in Celtic lore and religious arcana, and brimming with wit and heart, wonder and magic.
