Brexit is about to become reality and certain people within the EU are determined to give Britain a very public telling off. Other European nations must be diverted away from following Britain. Special investigators are on their way to Northern Ireland. Their mission is to gather evidence of illegal state collusion between the British establishment and Loyalist paramilitary gangs that operated in The Six Counties during The Troubles. Agents of the state, tasked with covering the tracks of their political masters, are gathering their assets and putting in place schemes to thwart the investigation. A small group of Army officers, facing the prospect of being prosecuted for Human rights violations, come up with a treasonous plan to protect themselves. While serving a life sentence after being convicted of multiple murders, ex- IRA man and notorious killer Francis Mc Carron became disillusioned with the Republican ideals that had, years before, driven him to commit ferocious acts of aggression. In the fight to free their country from foreign occupiers, he and his comrades had bombed and shot people on both sides of the sectarian divide. Twenty years ago, he was released early from prison as part of the Good Friday Agreement. Since then, he has been living a quiet life, determined to stay away from the violence and mayhem that defined his former existence. But, he has attracted the attention of people operating on the dark side of society, they want to make use of his skills. To these agents, Francis is a tool to be used and then discarded. Trapping him in a situation to coerce him into cooperating, they instead force him to revert to his old ways. Cunning and ruthless, Francis will fight to survive. With Government agencies working against him and his hastily assembled team, he finds himself forced to place his life in the hands of people he previously spent years trying to murder. And together, they become caught up in a race to get to Europe where they can hand over a dossier of damning information in exchange for immunity from prosecution. On the scales of justice, the international reputation of a proud Nation and the personal freedom of some of its most senior politicians is being balanced against the lives and liberty of a ragtag band of reformed killers and semi-retired British army officers.
Autorenporträt
Hello, my name is Mervyn Curran. I am 52 years old and I live in Dublin, Ireland. I am married to Rachel and we have three children ranging in ages from 32 down to 22. We are also guardians to Rachel`s 12 year old nephew who lost his parents eight years ago. So, having gotten used to our kids being mostly grown, we suddenly had a four year old on the Autism spectrum to enjoy raising. Rachel has worked wonders with him as he needs a lot of structure in his day. I work as a nightshift manager for a fresh produce distribution company in Dublin and Rachel is an in-home carer to her elderly mother and the aforementioned nephew. Its challenging but in a good way, mostly! I`ve always dabbled in writing but never really took it seriously until about four years ago. I had a couple of good ideas for stories and I decided to see if I could develop the ideas into full length novels. I managed to do that and produced two books. I enjoy the process of writing insofar as I like trying to expand an event or a character to the level of actual story telling. I like encountering obstacles in my story that I have to work my way around in a believable way. It seems to me that a story unfolds as it will, and characters develop in their own time and in their own way. I had only a vague idea of how somebody would behave or how their part in the story would play out and I`m always fascinated to watch the story spin out. I once read Stephen King basically saying how he wasnt always sure how a story would end and he just wrote it as it wanted to be written. I didnt understand that until I tried to write for myself. It seems to me to be an organic process in that it changes its shape and size as you write. I hope I`ve written stories that people can enjoy reading and I hope I can keep writing in the future. regards, Mervyn.
