<div>'Unintended Consequences&nbsp;feels like the definitive version of a story that should be much better known,'&nbsp;Sunday Business Post Unintended Consequences&nbsp;reveals how America's door closed on legal Irish immigration in the 1960s, and how America's Irish mounted a counterattack when nation-changing political forces were sweeping the country during the era of civil rights, political assassinations, and the Vietnam War. This book looks at the full historical background to Irish migration across the Atlantic, and how the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 brought a near total halt to this westward flow. Successive organisations championed the undocumented Irish, and the fight continues to this day, but this is a new America, where, in recent years, there has been growing hostility to immigrants of every nationality. Ray O'Hanlon has spent over three decades reporting on battles over comprehensive U.S. immigration reform, and this&nbsp;Unintended Consequences&nbsp;is the story of the Irish past, its present, and most uncertain future in the 'land of the free'.</div>

Nick Bailey considers himself a hardboiled reporter for London's hungriest tabloid. But even Bailey is left reaching for answers when he gets a midnight assignment to investigate a body hanging from the infamous Blackfriars Bridge. Someone, it seems, is killing priests, and a mystery that will serve up much more than headlines is the latest twist in a deadly conspiracy, one centuries in the making, a plot that will reach all the way to the South Lawn of the White House. In this tale of intrigue and bitter religious rivalry, Ray O'Hanlon sets a conflict that has simmered for four hundred years on a collision course with an American President and a British Prime Minster who are battling a present day crisis that threatens global peace. Both are confronting an uncertain future. But it's what is coming at them from the distant past that poses the greatest danger, a threat to their very lives.
