And The Shamrock Grows Green In The West (Paperback)

Neil Murphy's third book embraces the subject of the Irish 'Troubles' during the chaotic period between the Easter Rising in 1916 and the signing of the Treaty in 1921. Lord Keppel, a psychopathic Captain in the British army needs money to refurbish his castle in Enniskillen. His American heiress wife will foot the bill. Sadly for Keppel his pregnant bride, a millionaire's daughter, drowns as a consequence of a German torpedo attack on the liner, Moldavia, but not before the child enters the world. She is left in the care of Mossy McGuire, a passing Irish fisherman who rescued the infant. This story follows Keppel's search for his daughter, thwarted by the I.R.A. and friendly locals who are intent on saving the child from the hands of Keppel and returning her to her maternal grandparents in America.
