Although no one saw the actual killing, a young reporter named Sam O'Mahoney is found standing close to the body, a pistol in his hand, and is arrested and charged. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Following a desperate appeal from Sam's mother, convinced of her son's innocence, the Reverend Mother investigates - and, in this turbulent, war-torn city, uncovers several other key suspects. Could there be a Republican connection? Was James Doyle's death linked to his corrupt practices in the rebuilding of the city, burned down more than a year ago by the Black and Tans? Cork is a city divided by wealth and by politics: this murder seems to have links to both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Severn House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847517272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Cora Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36669703651484,"sku":"9781847517272","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_870cb0e3-9c8c-4ec8-85c9-91024faa00dd.jpg?v=1603920832","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/shocking-assassination-a-reverend-mother-mystery-set-in-1920s-ireland-9781847517272","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
