The Tragic Fate of Matty Coyle

By Malcolm Haslett

When he finds a cryptic reference in his late father's diaries to a sectarian killing in 1930s Ulster, Adrian McCausland fears the worst. Was his father involved in the killing of Matty Coyle, a Catholic who campaigned for the opening of a factory in a Catholic enclave in County Derry? Returning to the scene of events, Adrian pieces together part of the story. Matty drowned in a lake in a wooded glen. But was he killed by loyalist vigilantes? Or by heavies brought in to protect the factory by its Irish-American owner? As Adrian unearths new evidence he becomes aware there are people who still have an interest in hiding the truth about Matty's death. And he finds himself in danger of sharing the same fate as Matty.
