Opis

It's early March 1916 and World War I is in full swing. However, as the allied forces battle their way through the trenches and the world's eyes are focused on the bloody events happening in France, a deadly plot threatens to destroy Ireland from the inside out. With rebellion brewing and the IRB ready to mobilise thanks to the attention of the authorities being diverted overseas, the seemingly isolated Dublin is about to face its biggest threat in modern history. However, with the newly formed MI5 finally getting their foothold in domestic affairs, it's up to them and them alone to squash the looming Irish rebellion before it even starts. But with resources at a minimum and only a handful of experts equipped enough to take on the rising threat, it's going to take brilliant ingenuity and a pinch of desperation to stop an all-out war from ravaging home shores. Set against the backdrop of the Great War, In Dublin's Fair City presents a gripping crime story like no other. In his thrilling new historical thriller, William Blencoe spins a brutal tale of betrayal and broken loyalties bubbling in the heart of early 20th Century Dublin. With the eyes of everyone firmly locked on the enemy abroad, the entire country has left itself wide open to an attack from a much larger threat growing from within. As paranoia rises and distrust peaks at an all time high, the disastrous events of 1916 will kick-start a point of no return in Irish history that'll haunt the country for decades to come.
