"It was a perfect day for a funeral." So does Francis "Boyo" Shea begin his tale of his family and its roots in Ireland and their tangled branches in America. The story opens on the day of Boyo's father's funeral. The "old fella" leaves behind a cryptic letter in which he reveals a startling family secret. He has also left a diary in which he implicates members of his family in a plot to instigate a revolution in Ireland. He reveals that most of his generation has been killed in various "accidents" but that there is a new generation that may have plans to revive the revolution idea. Two beautiful, intelligent and successful women, one of which is his cousin known to one and all as M's, play prominent roles in Boyo's future as he digs deeper and deeper into his family's background and activities. What starts out as an interesting exercise in family history quickly turns into conspiracy, international intrigue and murder. The last best chance for peace in Ireland at the start of the new millennium depends upon Boyo putting all of the pieces of his family's puzzle together in time.
