A Restoration Comedy
by Brawn Sullivan
An espionage caper set at the end of the Cold War. Elegant and beautiful, Elizabeth, the Countess Genardane, cuts a classy figure in 1980'S New York society, where she is lauded for her kindness and generosity toward other exiles from Eastern Europe. Unknown to all but a select few, the Countess runs a highly organized international theft ring aimed at restoring all the many and priceless valuables lost when her Adriatic homeland went Communist. Assisted by bumbling secret agents from both London and America, the Countess and her merry band of thieves attempt one theft -- the retrieval of a crown jewel that will place her and the entire cast on a collision course with justice.

Note to My Readers on My Early Fiction: As many of you are aware, I was writing novels, and working with agents in New York, long before the idea of priesthood entered my mind. My early novels were consistently comic, even satirical, and they aimed to reach a general audience. Though the books are what Manhattan literary professionals refer to as “quality fiction,” they are hardly hagiography (that is, they are not books about saints). The general advisory “strong language, sexual situations” generally applies. We decided to bring some of the early novels into print because, frankly, they are good books; well worth reading. But I want my readers happy with their purchases, and so issue this advisory as well: Both BURNING ALEXIS and A RESTORATION COMEDY are highly political novels, ALEXIS leaning decidedly left and RESTORATION decidedly right. Just a precaution, should you be intrigued by either book and want to venture a bet, on buying it!

“A RESTORATION COMEDY kept my husband awake at night. I was reading it in bed and kept laughing out loud.”
