Joseph O´Neill´s grandfathers -one Irish, one Turkish- were both imprisoned during the Second World War. The Irish grandfather, a handsome rogue from a rural family, was an active member of the IRA and was interned with hundreds of his comrades. O´Neill´s other grandfather, a hotelier from a tiny Turkish Christian minority, was imprisoned by the British in Palestine, on suspicion of being a spy. At the age of thirty, O´nEill sset out to uncover his granthfather´s stories. He emerged with a tale of two families and two charismatic but flawed men - a story of murder, espionage, paranoia and fear, and of human vulnerability to the violence of history.
