Bealnablath; its hideous throng

By Charles Kanzler

In 1882, two senior public servants are brutally murdered in Dublin's Phoenix Park and following an intricate and sometimes questionable police investigation and controversial series of trials, five men are hanged in Kilmainham Gaol. In 1916, an officer of the British army is shot by his own men on the western front leaving his brother to search for and discover the truth of what happened. What is the link between these events and one of the most debated events in modern Irish history: the death in August 1922 of Michael Collins, commander in chief of the army of the Irish Free State?Set during the Irish War of Independence and the last days of the Dublin Castle administration, with a backdrop of the intelligence war between the IRA's intelligence wing directed by Michael Collins and British spymaster, Ormonde Winter, 'Bealnablath; its hideous throng' links these events in a gripping and tense narrative and offers a plausible and unsettling new interpretation of one of the most discussed events in modern Irish history.
