The Judas Son

In 1992 Sir Richard Hanmore the Government's Secretary Of State for Northern Ireland, is forced to retire. The enormity of his task trying to find peace in Northern Ireland has destroyed his health and his family. All his life it has been his obsession to broker peace in the province where he was born. He recovers from a massive heart attack and a fatal confrontation with his son and is persuaded by the Prime Minister to have one last try for peace. Against the wishes of his wife and the Special Branch he sets out to fulfil his dream convinced it is the only way he can come to terms with the death of his son and daughter. Political intrigue, raw emotions, betrayal and love combine to illustrate how many lives in the province and on the mainland are affected by this cruel and seemingly unstoppable civil war.
