About this title

From the Author

"Aside from the facts of the kidnaps themselves, the book's major strength is in the way Davidson connects these episodes and some of the people involved in them to other political events in Ireland."

Mary Lynch, Business Ireland Magazine
"Paramiltary activity and criminal antics in Kerry came under intense surveillance during the course of high-profile garda investigations into many of the most notorious kidnapping cases in the State, it is revealed in a new book destined for the bestseller lists."

John O'Mahony, The Kingdom"Davidson gives a cool and dispassionate account of the crimes overlaid with sensitivity notably in the account of Deirdre Crowley's brutal shotgun killing by her most-wanted father."
The Mayo News
