O'Sullivan, which offers details with historical accuracy on her grandfather's life from early childhood through the "Troubled" times in Ireland, while working for the crown as an RIC officer, vainly trying to secure the escape of Sir Roger Casement (who stayed at the family home In Ireland, noting Sir Casement also mentions Fiona's grandfather in his published writings), working with Michael Collins (of which correspondence exists from Michael Collins to her grandfather), and at the same time, risking his life to help save his own people.
