A controversial film about the rebellion and battle is being shot nearby, and it has drawn the ire of the right-wing nationalist movement Spirit of the Gael. Is there some link between the murder--the weapon used to impale the man leaves no doubt it was murder--and Spirit of the Gael or the shadowy militant group New Dawn, thought to be associated with them? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, in the working-class part of town, Rebecca's assignment to cover a protest against the placement of a convicted child molester into the community leads her to Mo Burke, the unlikely protest leader. Mo is a formidable woman, but she is also the matriarch of a known crime family and usually prefers to shun the spotlight. What has drawn her out? And what of her two grown sons, who share in the family business? The older one, Nolan, with Ben Affleck good looks, is clearly intrigued by Rebecca, as she is by him, despite her better instincts to steer clear of their dangerous, violent world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And then another body is found, this one wearing the Redcoat uniform of the victorious British army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Skelton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951627318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951627317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcade Crimewise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2020 pg. 65","brand":"Douglas Skelton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042518823167,"sku":"9781951627317","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc3a60a9-ee6d-4971-bcaf-e54d264d1f94.jpg?v=1684962003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-blood-is-still-2-douglas-skelton-9781951627317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
