Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. An up to date account of the theft of the Insignia of the Order of St. Patrick from Dublin Castle in 1907, probably by "insiders". Arthur Conan-Doyle drew on this and the characters involved for his 1908 story, The Bruce-Partington Plans.The thieves were never identified and the jewels were never found. Tipped in is a newspaper cutting of a July, 1982 detailed article in the Irish Times by Myles Dungan (who produced his own book on the subject in 2003).…

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Softcover, 8vo. 1st edition. 328 pp. Illustrated wraps. "Anyone with even a passing interest in conspiracy has heard claims that a powerful elite controls both the economies and the politics of the West. Just as surely, almost everyone who has heard these claims has ignored themthe notion of a "secret hand" in world affairs is just too fantastic to believe. Yet, in 2008, the world witnessed a meltdown in world finances. By capitalist rules "he who takes the risk earns the reward," but that is not how things occurred. The entire financial sector which had engaged in extreme risk for profit and lost, balked at the prospect of bankruptcy and exercised a hitherto unknown option (to the average western citizen at least) and socialized their losses, transferring them to the public ledger.".…

Moderate wear to tips of corners of covers and first & last leaves. Cover shows mild shelfwear; gently sunned spine is free of vertical creases. -- In 1907, coinciding with the visit of Edward VII to Ireland, an extraordinary discovery was made - the Irish Crown Jewels had disappeared from Dublin Castle. The jewels - a badge and diamond star - had been presented to the Knights of St Patrick by William IV in 1830. Scotland Yard uncovered a complicated web of mystery, intrigue and scandal. The Castle was heavily guarded. The thief had to be an 'insider'. The custodian of the jewels, Sir Arthur Vicars and his staff, including his co-tenant Frank Shackleton, brother of the explorer, came under intense scrutiny. The investigation revealed the existence of a homosexual circle within the Castle, including Vicars himself, Shackleton, Lord Haddo - the son of the King's Viceroy in Ireland - and the King's brother-in-law, the Duke of Argyll. The whiff of scandal was pervasive. A spectacular Irish burglary suddenly threatened to become an international scandal. The evidence pointed to Shackleton and Haddo as accomplices in crime. However, not surprisingly, the police report also vanished. The Royal Investigation that followed was treading on dangerous ground. Since then, the authorities have shrouded the case in official silence and destroyed all the important police files. This well-argued analysis of political conspiracy, scandal and betrayal presents a compelling case for the present whereabouts of the priceless jewels - the property of the Irish State.…
