A Traitor in the Family

Francis O'Neill is an IRA terrorist - and he will kill for the cause.

Gentleman Joe is his boss - and he wants power.

Liam is his brother - and he wants money.

Richard is the British intelligence officer - and he wants to recruit him.

Bridget is his wife - and she wants to get out.

A Traitor in the Family is the story of a man who remains devoted to a cause, while everyone around him gives in to temptation...

In its subtlety it reminded me strongly of John le Carré's wonderful A Small Town in Germany, which also brought home the delicate confusions that lie at the heart of those who work in the shadow of treachery. This is high praise
