The Whistleblower - Pocket Books 72

Judas sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
Gypo sold Francis Joseph Mac Philip for twenty pounds.
His figure as an informer is presented to us with surprising mastery by the author from the very first lines of this book, and we do not leave him until the last page.
The shadow of his sinister profile is cast over all the episodes of the novel, dominating the development of its action, which consists precisely in the relentless pursuit of the informer.
Beginning as soon as the police bullets brought down Mac Philip, the chase will last only one night.

But it is a night of nightmare, during which the author drags us, through the miserable places of Dublin, through a universe that takes from the great Flemish painters their colors of a bloody carnival: an authentic world of violence and passions, in which man struggles like an animal against the relentless fatality of misery and death.

An impressive tableau of a pathetic moment in human history. The Informer is a violent, brutal, and ruthless novel, a true suspense book.
