Randy Lee Eickhoff is one of the most treasured Irish-American scholars/authors writing about today's events. His translations of the Irish national epics The Raid and The Feast have won him praise as a poet and expert on mythology while his books on famous figures from America's past show his talents as a historian and storyteller. Now, in Fallon's Wake, Eickhoff returns to the rich and turbulent country of his heritage to craft a tale that acknowledges Ireland's troubled history while offering hope for the future. This is the story of Tom Fallon, an ex-IRA assassin who has retired to a small cottage on Long Woman's Grave. His days are quiet, filled with regret over deeds past, until a visit from a soldier convinces him that he must return to the movement. This time the issue is drugs, and Fallon realizes he must help the IRA stop drug shipments into Ireland, if only to prove that the organization has the best interests of the country at heart. But what starts as a simple attempt to make peace with the past quickly opens the door to a dangerous future as Fallon becomes emmeshed in a dark game of international crime, a shocking intrigue that involves political leaders at the highest levels. In the process, he also stumbles upon the bitter truth, buried below decades of war -- a truth that leaves a country torn at the seams with one last hope for peace. |
