Fenian Hunter by Peter Murphy

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.

Historical fiction set against the backdrop of mid-19th-century Australia, Ireland, England, and America, inspired by true events. Fenian Hunter is a fast-paced, gripping thriller set in a period when Australia was seen by the rest of the world as a colonial backwater, and where murder and mayhem happened on a whim.

The main character is Detective Sergeant Thomas Holmes, a Fenian Hunter, who sets out to hunt down a clandestine Fenian society that is hell-bent on rescuing their comrades locked up in Fremantle Prison in Western Australia. Holmes, however, finds himself distracted by the arrival of a feisty young Irish woman, hell-bent on avenging the man she's convinced murdered her father. Holmes falls for her, but at what price, and what is the secret he's holding back from her? (back cover)

The third novel by Peter Murphy, after Fenian Fear and Fenian 63.
