Shadow of the Brotherhood: The Temple Bar Shootings by Barry Kennerk
When a gunman disappears into the Dublin fog, they leave two seriously wounded police constables in his wake. An immediate investigation is launched by Dublin Castle, which soon uncovers the existence of a Fenian assassination squad that has policemen, informers and judges in its sights. With pressure on the Irish administration from an anxious British government, Superintendent Daniel Ryan and his G squad of detectives must run the gang to ground. Through innovative use of eyewitness testimonies, police reports, medical notes and other material, the author casts a magnifying glass on Victorian Dublin – a city in which the footsteps of the assassin are never far away.
Barry Kennerk is a post-graduate student affiliated with St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra, researching the Fenians. His first book, The Railway House – Tales From an Irish Fireside, was published in 2008. He works at the Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street. He is married with two children and lives in Ashbourne, County Meath.
