  Separating fact from fiction, Anatomy of an Injustice - The Killing of Fr Niall Molloy re-examines the astonishing circumstances surrounding the death of a 52-year-old priest almost forty years ago. 
   
  In July 1985, the discovery of Fr Niall Molloy’s badly beaten body in the bedroom of his close friends and business associates, Richard and Therese Flynn, was the stuff of soap operas, not of a small rural village in the Irish midlands. 
   
  The gentle-natured cleric came to a violent and bloody end during a weekend of extravagant wedding celebrations at the Flynn stately home, Kilcoursey House. 
   
  For decades, the events of that tragic night fuelled rife speculation and gossip, as well as allegations of a cover-up by the State and Church, and today his death remains unsolved and shrouded in mystery. 
   
  From an extraordinary criminal trial and acquittal, which conflicted with a subsequent inquest verdict, to a botched investigation and questions over motive, the savage beating of Fr Niall Molloy continues to beg more questions than answers. 
   
  Anatomy of an Injustice - The Killing of Fr Niall Molloy builds on fresh revelations unveiled in a recent two-part TV documentary for RTE, ‘The killing of Fr Niall Molloy’, to detail and document the whole story before and after that fateful summer Sunday. 
   
  In this new book, TV documentary producer, Sharon Lawless of Flawless Films, and Maresa Fagan, a journalist of 20 years standing, delve further into the case to test evidence, old and new, and follow the money trail. 
   
  It forensically analyses all available facts and testimony given at the 1986 trial and inquest and also hears from criminal and medical experts about how Fr Molloy died and about what really might have occurred that night. 
   
  This story of significant public interest also sheds light on the many injustices in the case and how the Molloy family were let down by the State and criminal justice system.

  The brutal murders of young Devon and Damon Routier in the early morning hours of June 6, 1996, put their mother—Darlie Routier—at the heart of one of the most notorious murder cases in modern Texas history—despite her own throat having been slashed to within two millimeters of her carotid artery. 
  The actions of a small-town police department and those within Dallas County's ruthless justice system created a perfect storm that swept up the young mother and landed her on death row. There she has remained, in a nine-feet-by-six-feet cell, despite claims of her innocence by those who know her, findings about the alarming fallibility of bloodstain analysis, and her husband's admission that at the time of the murders he was soliciting help to stage a home burglary to commit insurance fraud. 
  In Dateline Purgatory, award-winning journalist Kathy Cruz enlists current-day legal experts to weigh in on the shocking transgressions that resulted in one of the country's most controversial death penalty convictions. 
  With the help of the infamous death row inmate and a former FBI Special Agent known as “Crimefighter,” Cruz would find that her journey through Purgatory was as much about herself as it was about the woman dubbed “Dallas’s Susan Smith.”

  The Astonishing History of...

  Throughout history, the act of assassination has been a tool of power, vengeance, and politics, often carried out in the shadows and shrouded in secrecy. From the ancient world to modern times, assassins have played pivotal roles in shaping the course of history. Yet, the nature of assassination has evolved, reflecting the complex interplay of politics, culture, and technology across the centuries. This book seeks to unravel the astonishing history of assassins, exploring their origins, their methods, and the lasting impact they have had on world events. 
    
  In ancient civilizations, assassination was often a political tool, employed by rulers, rebels, and conquerors alike. It was a means of securing power, removing enemies, or solidifying control over vast empires. The first known assassins operated in ancient Egypt, Persia, and Rome, where rulers and military leaders sought to eliminate their adversaries in the most covert and deadly ways possible. Over time, the practice would evolve, becoming more organized and ritualized, with the establishment of secretive cults like the Hashashin, who would later influence both the Crusades and the broader history of the Middle East. 
    
  As time progressed, the nature of assassination became more sophisticated. In the medieval world, political intrigue was rife, and assassins found themselves at the heart of royal courts, hired to remove monarchs or their rivals in clandestine operations. The Italian Renaissance, with its complex web of political factions, provided fertile ground for the rise of professional assassins. Meanwhile, during the Age of Revolution, assassination became both a tool of rebellion and a strategy for suppressing dissent, influencing the outcomes of revolutions that reshaped Europe and the rest of the world.
