Description
The Murderer and the Taoiseach: Death, Politics and GUBU - Revisiting the Notorious Malcolm Macarthur Case by Harry McGee In the sweltering summer of 1982, a brutal killing spree shook Ireland to its core. Two weeks later, a sensational arrest brought the nation to a standstill. This gripping true crime story explores the events that unfolded, including the cat-and-mouse game to track down the unpredictable killer and the extraordinary capture that followed. Award-winning journalist Harry McGee delves into the life and psyche of the murderer, as well as that of the leading political figure of the time, a man driven by greed, status, and a sense of himself above the law. McGee's account sheds new light on the trial and the interactions between the killer and the politician, revealing previously unknown aspects of the case. A compelling and illuminating account of tragedy and scandal, The Murderer and the Taoiseach is a worthwhile read for anyone fascinated by true crime and the darker side of politics.
