Ireland 1941. A German spy escapes from Mountjoy Prison, clearly
with inside help. Yet no one wants to catch him. When the head of
Garda Special Branch sends Inspector Stefan Gillespie to find out
why, it must be in secret. But he meets a web of deceit in which
the past's dark shadows loom over the lies of the present. Alone,
except for an alcoholic private detective and a woman who could
betray him to the IRA, Stefan embarks on a journey that drags him
into a plot to attack British interests in Ireland and an attempt
on the life of the IRA Chief-of-Staff by his own men. Crossing into
war-torn Northern Ireland, he is suddenly unprotected, a rogue
policeman to the Royal Ulster Constabulary, a dangerous spy to the
IRA. Praise for Michael Russell 'Complex but compelling . . .
utterly vivid and convincing' Independent on Sunday 'A superb,
atmospheric thriller' Irish Independent 'A thriller to keep you
guessing and gasping' Daily Mail 'Atmospheric' Sunday Times
