A stunning and critically praised novel by acclaimed Irish writer Carlo Gébler, this book addresses the miscarriages of justice endemic in the Irish judicial system. On a wet November morning in 1940, Harry Gleeson discovered the body of Moll McCarthy in a field near the village of New Inn, Co. Tipperary. She had been shot twice with a shotgun, once in the face… In tracing Moll's journey to this tragic end, Carlo Gébler's novel - which is based on the real story - explores how the local police fabricated their case against Harry Gleeson, and why an entire community looked away as the Irish judicial system prosecuted, convicted and condemned to death an innocent man. Gleeson was hanged in Mountjoy prison in April 1941. As of January 2015, Harry Gleeson has been cleared of murder and is now the first recipient of posthumous pardon in Ireland.
