More Dark Drink and Conversation - Thomas Kennedy - Bog

Something is afoot in the small inner city parish in Dublin City, Ireland. There is the scent of a horse racing scam and the betting Syndicate of the Teacher, the Garda Sergeant, the Parish Priest and the Barman in Mulligans pub, are in the loop. Life becomes complicated when The European Union Commissioner for Cultural Harmonisation is kidnapped while on a visit to Mulligans Pub where he has just appraised locals that a movie, 'Souls, lost in Cities' is to be made in the parish starring Tracy, an Australian rumoured to be a porn star. Who were the terrorists and what do they want? Suspicion falls on a local group of Arabs were holding a coffee morning in Mulligans at the time of the kidnap. When the Searcher asks the Teacher to prepare a report on the locality, the Syndicate is drawn into a mesh of international intelligence with Renditions and the CIA in the background. Meet Tracy, the Australian actress, the Tramp and both Bruisers, Senior and Junior, together with Dwyer the Bookie and the Red Kelly, Rockette the Garda recruit, nephew to Stephenson the Garda Superintendent and others in this warm tale of kidnap and conspiracy. A comic and satirical look at the modern world from the confines of the snug in Mulligans pub.
