Tom Gilmartin by Frank Connolly

Tom Gilmartin by Frank Connolly

This is a compelling narrative of official wrong-doing and abuse of office. The book exposes the roots of the political and financial disaster that has wreaked such havoc in the lives of so many Irish people.

‘How an honourable man faced down a golden elite of extortionistsThis is not so much a who-done-it as a who-did-Ireland.’

-- Justine McCarthy

‘Frank Connolly is the best investigative journalist we’ve ever had.’ 

-- Eamon Dunphy

‘Tom Gilmartin did all Irish people an immense service by telling the truth about the corruption and cynicism he encountered at the very top of the political system. Frank Connolly brought Gilmartin’s story to light, and does another great service by retelling that story with such vividness, clarity and power. As human and engaging as a novel, this is a truth stranger, and more urgent, than fiction.’ 

-- Fintan O'Toole

‘Frank Connolly lays bare, in cold, forensic detail, how hard it has been to arrive at certain truths, and the human price paid for those truths.’ 

-- Theo Dorgan
