Set in 1982, High Crimes Against the Crown chronicles the saga of Conor Caldemeyer. A former cop who left a small-town police force after a roadblock assignment gone awry. Conor heads to Ireland with his best friend, Alec, for a little R&R. There he meets Billi, a raven-haired Irish woman who reminds him of a love long gone but never forgotten.

Paying more attention to his heart than his head, Conor gets involved with a wing of the Irish Resistance Movement. It all seems a bit of a lark until his idyllic "trip of a lifetime" devolves into a nightmare of violence and intrigue destined to change his world forever.

Fleeing the wrath of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, Conor hides on the Camino de Santiago, the legendary pilgrimage of St. James. He encounters interesting characters, romance, and danger.

Patrick DeVaney, the author of "Two Million Steps" brings you his first novel entitled High Crimes Against the Crown; a fast-paced story mixing humor, adventure, and romance.
