Product Description
Set in 1920's Ireland The Informer is an enthralling revolutionary drama of the Dublin underworld and inspired the classic John Ford film. In the ominous figure of Gypo, an ex-policeman, who takes blood money for betraying his friend and comrade, O'Flaherty has created a force from whom no-one is safe. The Informer is a story in which terror and treachery reign supreme as O'Flaherty unfolds his urban masterpiece. Liam O'Flaherty was born on the Aran Islands in 1896. His work includes the novels Famine, Thy Neighbour's Wife, The Assassin, and several acclaimed short story collections.
This edition from NEL has a great red tinged cover, using the film of the book as an inspiration.
Tanning to pages, and creasing to corners, but a decent reading copy.
Originally published in 1925, almost in the period the novel is set.
