Belfast 1995
The IRA struggles to convince their members to maintain the fragile ceasefire. When its London bombing cells are compromised and arrested, the leadership knows there can be only one reason for such a defeat; an informer in their midst. A Tout.
As the top echelons of the IRA hunt for the informer, the intelligence agencies continue with their covert operations against the terror group. For Marcus Vaughan, a new operator with the Special Intelligence Group, the dark world of the Dirty War is everything he trained for and more. Running agents and surveillance against IRA targets, Marcus embraces his new calling.
But when the legacy of a long-forgotten operation comes crashing into the present, the war suddenly becomes personal for Marcus. Very personal. And as he begins to uncover a web of treachery and deceit stretching back decades, Marcus soon realizes that the dark forces involved will stop at nothing to cover their tracks.
From black operations in the back streets of Belfast to the shadow world of spooks and spies, Sins of the Fathers takes the reader to the heart of the undercover war in Northern Ireland.
