Description
In 1969, David McGonigal, the son of an Irish father and a Welsh mother thought the violence of Ireland was behind him when he left the SAS and a covert life in the British Home Office Counter Terrorism Unit. It wasn't David shoots and kills a demented Catholic fanatic as he attempts to assassinate his mother, the famous Dr Phyllis McGonigal, a world leader in birth control and female reproduction. David's photograph appears in the national press. He is recognised by old enemies in the Republic of Ireland. They try to kill him. David's grandmother, a politically powerful Irish woman, brokers a 'deal' with the IRA. David and his new wife Barbara are exiled to Western Australia to live with his Uncle Paul. Forty years previously this influential woman spirited Paul out of Ireland after he botched an IRA murder mission. The old lady called in old debts and they were paid. Paul McGonigal is very rich. He owns land and gold mines and mineral assets that nobody knows about - or so he thinks. He leads a quiet life. The mineral boom has just started and Paul is in the thick of it. 'Flight to Australia' tells of David and Barbara's first month in exile. On their first day there is a bomb threat. David fears the IRA has reneged on the deal, but Paul is the target. Paul doesn't know who they are or why the want him dead- but they keep on trying. 'Flight to Australia' is a breathtaking story of greed, violence and corruption in high places. It is also a story of heartbreaking tragedy, of love lost and a new love found. 'Flight to Australia' stands on its own as a compelling novel. It is the sequel to 'Hearts of Stone'. What a critic said: 'This is an action-packed detailed, whirlwind of a story-a credit to the author...set primarily in Western Australia involving the IRA, the SAS, political refugees, diamond mines, international scams, murder, tragedy and love! Roger Crook writes masterfully as he fleshes out this fictional story that spans the globe and breaths life into fictional characters. Wendy OHanlon, APN Newspapers.
