Softcover. In the summer of 1996, the Irish journalist Veronica Geurin was assassinated because of her investigations into organised crime. The author recreates the story behind her murder while chronicling the life of the man charged with her killing, John Gilligan. Written from an inside perspective, the book is a fine piece of investigative writing - uncompromising in its exposure of Gilligan's life, his meteoric rise in the Irish underworld, his personality and his blatant disregard for law and order - and it forms an intriguing and menacing story. A definitive account of how a criminal organisation, headed by a brutal and unscrupulous leader, can ride roughshod over society's moral and civil codes. Illus. in colour, with Epilogue and The Judgement. 271pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
