Description
Hunger strikers are dying and passions are high. Belfast, 1981. Young Thomas ‘Tod’ Malone is in awe of leading IRA fighter and recently-released political prisoner, Raymond Massey. Tod joins the IRA which is in a deadly war with British undercover soldiers and the RUC Special Branch as each side tries to outwit the other
The two IRA men’s families – their partners Roisin and Sal – also bear the brunt of suffering: the military raids and arrests, the humiliations and abuse, and the social deprivation that comes with sacrifice.
When IRA operations go wrong the organisation becomes convinced that there is a traitor in its ranks working for the enemy. But who? And why? And how?
This is a riveting political thriller about war, morality, love and deceit
Danny Morrison began writing The Wrong Man in prison towards the end of serving an eight-year sentence for the kidnapping of an IRA informer, a conviction that was later overturned. He now writes full-time and is a regular media commentator on politics and the arts.
