The Informer
Liam O'Flaherty

"The Informer by Liam O'Flaherty must be accounted a little masterpiece of its kind...his portrait of the brutish informer is so marvellously vivid, and his whole narrative, with its slowly increasing atmosphere of terror, so perfectly unfolded that the book must be ranked very high indeed...easily its author's best work. It is quite an unforgettable story.”
-The Sunday Times

This is the second book in O’Flaherty’s beautifully revamped series. 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.
