Inhaltsangabe:

Ireland in 1928 was a place of conflicted loyalty, changing politics and in tense subterfuge. When Sean Harling, a civic guard and former republican, shot dead a known IRA member, Timothy Coughlan, his former friends in the wider republican movement cried foul.
Harling claimed he had been ambushed but, though cleared of wrong-doing by a tribunal and inquest, he was forced to give up his job and flee the country. He eventually returned to Ireland but his family suffered years of rumour and suspicion.
Revealing private conversations that suggest Harling was playing a much murkier role than even his detractors would suggest, Noel Redican delves into the dark and shifting history of Ireland's first decade as an independent state, when politics was fluid and murderous tensions were never far from the surface.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Noel Redican is a nephew of Sean Harling and writes for the first time of his family's efforts to clear his uncle's name. A native of Dublin he worked for many years at Dublin Bus. In his youth he was involved in the republican movement and was questioned on suspicion of involvement in the destruction of Nelson's Pillar in 1966.
