LYN. A Story of Prostitution

Paperback. Lyn Madden worked for 20yrs. as a prostitute, mostly in Dublin. Her career ended the night she watched her lover and pimp, John Cullen, throw a fire bomb through the window of Dolores Lynch's home. Dolores, who had 'escaped' from prostitution some years previously, perished along with her aunt and mother. That murder shocked Lyn out of her dependence on John, and enabled her to summon up the extraordinary courage necessary to denounce him to the police. She began writing this book whilst awaiting the trial at which Cullen was sentenced to 18yrs. in gaol. Reworked with author June Levine, it provides a stark, at times terrifying insight into the life of one woman 'on the game'. 267pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
