The Flagler Legacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983209430)

The massive explosion erupted in the middle of the night when most residents of Jacksonville, Florida were asleep. The deafening blast killed adjacent residents in their demolished houses and awakened those for miles around. The cause was a mega-bomb in the large Broward Junction Yard of the Florida East Coast Railway, but no culprits were identified. An initial suspect was Jacksonville's O'Shea family which had suffered a 1976 controversial court decision eliminating the Family Trust Fund from the railway. But the O'Shea family was innocent. After graduation from Harvard Law School, Rick O'Shea, was determined to find fault with the legal decision. He teamed up with Jacksonville's youngest and only African-American female newscaster to research the case. The couple's research became intertwined with investigations of American, British and French security agencies tracing the bombers. A British MI6 agent discovered that the bomb was directed by Saudi terrorists to threaten the chairman of the FECR Board.
